Students Who Killed Atheist Bangladeshi Writer Sentenced to Death

Two students in Bangladesh were sentenced to death on Thursday for killing a prominent atheist writer and blogger in the country’s capital city Dhaka in 2013. Six others were convicted for their role in the murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider, the BBC reported. Haider, one of several bloggers demanding the execution of Islamist leaders who committed war crimes during the 1971 conflict that led to the creation of Bangladesh, was hacked to death while returning home from a public rally two years ago. One student attacked Haider with a meat cleaver, the court said while sentencing him to death.
