A Bangladeshi blogger who denounced religious fundamentalism has been hacked to death.
A secular blogger has been hacked to death in north-eastern Bangladesh in the country’s third such deadly attack since the start of the year.
Police said Ananta Bijoy Das was attacked by a masked gang wielding machetes in the north-eastern city of Sylhet.
Mr Das wrote blogs for Mukto-Mona, a website once moderated by Avijit Roy, himself hacked to death in February.
If religion were about truth, it wouldn’t need the sword to sustain itself. Religion is about power, about controlling people.
