Two gay-rights activists, including editor of Bangladesh’s only LGBT magazine, have been hacked to death in Dhaka.
The killings come just two days after the murder of a university professor in an attack claimed by ISIL.
It’s the second such attack in two days. Since last February, suspected militants have killed several secular or atheist writers and members of religious minority groups.
Al Jazeera’s Kate King reports.
