This week, Rezaul Karim Siddique, an English professor, and Julhas Mannan and Tanay Mojumdar, two gay rights activists, were murdered in Dhaka in targeted political killings.
These three murders are just the latest of a series of attacks on secular and human rights activists in the last few years, (see here and here).
All these attacks are quite clearly part of a strategy by Islamic reactionary elements in Bangladeshi society to increase fear and tension.
A rise in religious and sectarian conflict will only divide and weaken the labour movement who have struggled hard to organise and improve their lives
