Human rights activists in Bangladesh fear that the nation’s current transitional government is opening the door to a return to the days when Islamic terrorists were murdering pro-secular and pro-LGBTQ writers. Among the victims were pro-secular blogger Rajib Haider, murdered in 2013, and LGBTQ rights activists Xulhaz Mannan and Mahbub Tonoy, murdered in 2016. In 2017, radical Islamist cleric Jasimuddin Rahmani was sentenced to prison for his role in inciting Haider’s murder. Rahmani has been in prison since then, facing several terrorism-related charges. He was released on bail on Aug. 26.
