On March 30th, a Bangladesh court sentenced four men to death for the brutal killing of a secular blogger, Ananta Bijoy Das, in 2015. Ananta was a contributor to Mukto-Mona, a Bengali blog for secularists, atheists, and freethinkers. Along with Ananta, two other Bangladeshi secular bloggers were killed in 2015. Judge Nurul Amin Biplob in his verdict, said “if these accused are not given exemplary punishment, people of other terrorists, extremist ideologies will be encouraged to commit such killings,” adding “The main purpose was to spread fear and apprehension among writers who wrote or spoke about liberalism, progressivism, science, and prejudice prevalent in the society through the brutality and horror of the killing.” Bangladesh, a dominantly Muslim country, is a distressing place for advocates of human rights and freedom of speech. Das’s brother-in-law, who was present at the verdict, called for the arrest of the remaining suspects who are still at large.
