Bangladesh student Nazimuddin Samad hacked to death

April 7, Dhaka: A Bangladeshi law student who had expressed secular views online has been killed in the capital, Dhaka.

According to police, Nazimuddin Samad was hacked with machetes at a traffic junction late on Wednesday and then shot.

Samad, 28, was reported to have been an organiser of the Ganajagran Manch, a secular campaigning group.

A string of prominent secular bloggers have been attacked or killed by religious extremists in Bangladesh in the last year.

Three assailants on a motorcycle attacked Samad and then shot him, The Dhaka Tribune reported, police said.

Police have not named any suspects in the case nor confirmed a religious motive.

Samad, a student of Jagannath University, regularly wrote against religious extremism on his Facebook page. He had written “I have no religion” on his profile under religious views.

Last year, four prominent secular bloggers were killed with machetes, one inside his own home.

Rohingya Migrants Stranded At Sea: Death Inches Closer As We Remain Silent

Around 400 souls including women and children are dancing around death in a ship in the Andaman Sea since last week, without any food, water, sanitation facilities and healthcare, as no country – Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh – wants them on their land.

…

Reports say that with no food and water available, many desperate voyagers are drinking their urine to survive. Aljazeera reported that a person on board, “went crazy” and jumped to death in the sea.

The fishermen who spoke to the BBC said that:
“We have been told by Indonesian officers that even the refugees are drowning in front of our eyes, to save them would be illegal.”
Fishermen in Aceh region at last week, had rescued 700 people from the sea.
However, without giving his name, a fisherman, despite this ban, he said that : “They’re human beings, we have to rescue them, we will continue to rescue them”
