DHAKA:
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Dhaka on today to denounce the murder of a prominent American blogger of Bangladeshi origin hacked to death with machetes after he allegedly received threats from Islamists.
The demonstrators – including teachers, publishers and fellow writers – met near the spot where Avijit Roy, founder of Mukto-Mona (Free-mind) blog, was attacked by unknown assailants as he returned home from a book fair with his wife on yesterday evening.
They chanted slogans including “We want justice” and “raise your voice against militants”.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the vicious attack, which also seriously wounded the 44-year-old’s wife and has shocked many in a country already reeling from weeks of violent political protest.
