Bangladesh: Eight Sentenced to Die for Murder of Secular Publisher
2021-02-12
Only after they’ve appealed their sentences all the way to the Supreme Court will we know if they really will hang for their misdeeds.
[BenarNews] A tribunal in Bangladesh on Wednesday sentenced to death eight members of an al-Qaeda-linked holy warrior group after finding them guilty of killing publisher Faisal Arefin Dipan in 2015, in one of a string of gruesome murders of secular intellectuals in the South Asian country.

Dipan, killed in broad daylight by machete-wielding murderous Moslems at his workplace, printed the secular and science writings of slain American-Bangladeshi writer Avijit Roy, among others.

Dipan’s murder was premeditated and he was killed for publishing Roy’s books, as part of an effort to destroy secular Bangladesh, noted anti-terrorism tribunal judge Mojibur Rahman.
