Popular Anti-Religion American Blogger In Bangladesh Hacked To Death In Dhaka
A publisher of a slain online critic of religious militancy was hacked to death in the Bangladeshi capital, police said, hours after similar attacks wounded two secular writers and another publisher.
Faysal Arefin, who was killed on Saturday in Dhaka, published books by Avijit Roy, a US citizen of Bangladeshi origin who was murdered in the same way in February.
The body of Arefin, the 43-year-old chief of the Jagriti Prokashoni publishing house, was found inside his office. The perpetrators had locked the office before carrying out the attack, police said.
Arefin’s father, Abul Kashem Fazlul Haq, a noted intellectual and writer, said: “I rushed to his office at Aziz Market and broke the padlock, and I saw him lying upside down in a massive pool of blood. They slaughtered his neck. He is dead.”
Jamaluddin Mir, a police officer, told Al Jazeera that at least seven other people were trapped inside the office when the attack was carried out.
“The criminals introduced themselves as customers who were buying books and entered the publishing house,” he said, adding that an investigation to identify the attackers was under way.
