8:59Now PlayingOn April 25th, 2016, Bangladesh’s top gay rights activist, Xulhaz Mannan, was brutally murdered along with actor Rabbi Tonoy. Both victims were figureheads, pillars in Bangladesh’s thriving LGBTQ+ non-profit advocacy group and community known as Roopban. Mannan and Tonoy were 35-years old and 25-years old at the time of their murder. They were instrumental in the creation and publication of Roopbaan’s magazine of the same title. Marcia Bernicat, the US Ambassador to Bangladesh at that time, condemned Mannan’s killing. Ansar Al Islam, a Bangladesh-based offshoot of al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the murder and other attacks targeting atheists and other secular activists. After more than half a decade passed, the Special Anti-Terrorism Tribunal has sentenced six men out of the eight charged for Mannan and Tonoy’s murder.
