Bangladesh Blogger Ananta Bijoy Das Hacked To Death by itseedris(m): 4:42pm On May 12, 2015 |
A secular blogger has been hacked to death in north-eastern Bangladesh in the country's third such deadly attack since the start of the year. Ananta Bijoy Das was attacked by masked men with machetes in Sylhet, police say. He is said to have received death threats from Islamist extremists. Mr Das wrote blogs for Mukto-Mona, a website once moderated by Avijit Roy, himself hacked to death in February. Sweden has confirmed it turned down a visa request from Mr Das in April. He had been invited to attend a press freedom event by the Swedish Pen writers organisation but officials in the country's embassy in Dhaka refused the request, citing a risk he might not return home. Swedish Pen told the BBC they were in the process of submitting an appeal when they heard of Mr Das's murder. Read more @ http://my9jablog..com/2015/05/bangladesh-blogger-ananta-bijoy-das.html |
