Five Sentenced to Death in Bangladesh for Killing Atheist Blogger

In February 2015, a renowned blogger and published author, Avijit Roy, was gruesomely murdered in Dhaka at age 42. Roy was a notable advocate of the free-thought movement in Bangladesh. Roy was a Bangladeshi-American citizen and a critic of religious extremism. He was publicly assaulted by machete-wielding assassins who butchered him to death as he and his wife were leaving a book fair. His wife, Rafida Ahmed, survived, but suffered head injuries and lost a finger. A court in Dhaka sentenced five members of an Islamist group to death on Tuesday, February 16th, 2021, for killing Roy six years ago. According to the prosecutor, another one of the attackers was sentenced to life in prison. The defense attorney for the six men said they will appeal the sentences in a higher court. 🎨 Get our Blasphemous Art Ebook http://bit.ly/BlasphemousArtBook 🎤 Leave us a voicemail here: http://bit.ly/AR-Podcasts 💖 Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SupportAR 📧 Subscribe to our Newsletter: http://bit.ly/AR-Mail 🎁 Join to get exclusive perks: http://bit.ly/AR-Member 💕 You can also support us on PayPal: http://bit.ly/AR-PayPal 📗 Download our book, "Why There Is No God" for FREE: http://bit.ly/AR-Mail 👕 Buy Atheist Republic merch: http://bit.ly/ARShirts 📮 To donate by check, please make your check payable to ‘Atheist Republic’ and send it to: Atheist Republic, PO Box #69, Daly City, CA 94016 🤫 We also have crypto wallets for people who want to donate anonymously: http://bit.ly/AR-Donate 📅 Schedule a call with Armin here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/schedule-call-44515963 🛒 When you shop on Amazon using this link, Amazon will make a donation to Atheist Republic: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/84-2133342 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToAR ➡️ Follow us on BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/atheistrepublic 👕 We now have a discount code for Atheist Republic T-shirts: http://bit.ly/ARShirts 20% off exclusively for - our patrons: http://bit.ly/PatronCode - and our YouTube members (only works if you're a member): http://bit.ly/YouTubeCode 🎧 Listen to our news podcast on iTunes, Stitcher or your favourite podcast app: http://www.atheistrepublic.com/podcast/news 📼 Watch the full video: /watch/AUeXKypn7ilnX Follow Atheist Republic - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AtheistRepublic - Twitter: https://twitter.com/AtheistRepublic - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atheistrepublic - Website: http://www.atheistrepublic.com - Discord: https://discord.com/invite/VpFtERX - Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theatheistrepublic Follow Armin Navabi (AR Founder, Ex-Muslim, Ex-Shia) - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/armin.navabi - Twitter: https://twitter.com/arminnavabi - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arminnavabi83 - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ arminnavabi - YouTube: /ArminNavabi Follow Susanna (AR CEO, Ex-Christian, Ex-Catholic, Ex-Antifa) - Twitter: https://twitter.com/skepticsusanna - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tripledimpled #AtheistRepublic The views and opinions expressed in here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
