In 2015 three men known for their writing on humanist, atheist and secularist topics were murdered in little over three months in Bangladesh. Avijit Roy was murdered on 27 February 2015 after attending the international book fair at Dhaka University. His wife Bonya Rafida Ahmed was also hit in the machete attack. Roy was a multiply pushed author on science, a blogger of great humanism, a proponent of secularism and a critic of Islamist fundamentalism. Fellow Mukto-Mona blogger Washiqur Rahman was killed just a month later on 30 March 2015, also by machete attack in the street. This was followed on 12 May 2015 by the murder of Ananta Bijoy Das, again in almost identical circumstances, this time on streets close to his hime. All bloggers 2015 murders targeting “atheist bloggers” have been linked to the Islamist “hit lists” produced in 2013 in response to the Shahbag protests. Avijit Roy, Washiqur Rahman and Ananta Bijoy Das were not the first to be targeted. A gang armed with machetes hacked another blogger to death at his home in Dhaka on Friday 07 August 2015 in the fourth such murder in the country since the start of the year. Niloy Neel was murdered after the gang broke into his apartment in the capital’s Goran, according to the Bangladesh Blogger and Activist Network which was alerted to the attack by a witness. Recently freethinkers and foreign persons was murder and tortured in Bangladesh.
Religious minority oppression is a common phenomenon in Bangladesh. Every day, minority oppression is growing at an alarming rate. Yet our government is not doing its duty to safeguard the minority groups. Why aren’t they doing something to stop minority torture? We don’t know. But we have been seeing that most of the perpetrators are linked with the ruling party. People think that the present government may be turning a blind eye at minority issues. In Bangladesh, the brutal persecution of the Hindu, Christian religious minority and indigenous ethnic minorities is going ahead with full steam. Until now, the persecution that both communities faced never saw the light of justice. A culture of the denial of justice in Bangladesh is the root of all the persecution against the ethnic and religious minorities, which isn’t only affecting a part of the country, but is plaguing the entire criminal justice system in Bangladesh.
