Local time Tuesday (September 8), the popular Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino published this information in a special report.

The report stated that actress and model Azmeri Haque Badhon is currently staying in Venice as a representative of the film The Difficult Bride, directed by Rubiyat Hossain, which was selected in the 'Orizzonti' (Horizons) section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

In the Mestre area of Venice, she was physically assaulted and mentally harassed by local activists of the banned Awami League. During the incident, the attackers hurled abusive language at her, labeling her a "July fighter."
