5 Sentenced to Die for Killing Secular Bangladesh-American Blogger Avijit Roy

Ululululululululululu!
[BenarNews] A tribunal in Bangladesh on Tuesday sentenced to death five men of an al-Qaeda-linked krazed killer group who were found guilty of killing Bangladesh-American blogger and author Avijit Roy
...Bangladeshi-American engineer, online activist, writer and blogger who created the Mukto-Mona internet community for Bangladeshi freethinkers, including rationalists, skeptics, atheists and humanists. Engineers are dangerous — they can’t be stopped thinking logically, and explaining their conclusions, short of death, so Ansarullah Bangla Team arranged it. ABT is ISIS in Bangladesh now, but at the time Al Qaeda was where all the kewl jihadis pledged their blood...
in 2015, in one of a string of gruesome murders of secular intellectuals in the South Asian country.

A sixth convict was sentenced to life in prison for issuing a death threat to Roy — for his writings against religious extremism and for allegedly defaming Islam — and provoking the machete killing that took place six years ago.
Ulululululu!
Roy’s wife Rafida Ahmed Bonya, who currently lives in the U.S., said the verdict did not provide closure for her or her family, and that the roots of the extremism that led to the killings of intellectuals need to be investigated.
