In the past week, a gay rights activist and the editor of the only LGBT magazine Xulhaz Mannan was murdered with Tanay Mojumder, a community organizer, for being ‘pioneers of practicing and promoting homosexuality in Bangladesh’. This came two days after the killing of Rezaul Karim Siddique, a professor Of English, for promoting secular ideas. More is here:

It appears to be an ongoing strategy of religious fanatics to eliminate their critics and others who do not believe in their favored religion. It’s happening not just in Bangladesh but also in India, Pakistan and elsewhere. We are proud to stand against religious bigots everywhere.

Please use the following links to send messages urging the Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina Wajed to take necessary steps to assure safety of secular people, journalists, writers and activists.

Sample message to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh
‘We condemn the three extra-judicial murders of secular minded people in Bangladesh, and we demand from Bangladesh government to take necessary measures against religious extremists to assure safety of peaceful activists, journalists and educators. These killings give us a clear view of the extreme religious mind: It is intolerant, uses bullying tactics, tries to bend others to their will with violence, uses sickening cruelty, disregards laws, becomes the judge and the jury, dishes out death instead of justice. Your government must act with force and conviction to defeat this mindset.’
