Ahmed Rajib Haider (died 15 February 2013) was an atheist blogger from Bangladesh. He used to blog in the blogging communities namely Somewhereinblog.net, Amarblog.com and Nagorikblog.com. On 15 February 2013, after comments he posted online about religious fundamentalism, he was hacked to death by machete-wielding activists from a militant group associated with the Jamaat-e-Islami party. An architect by profession, Haider's blog was among those that ignited the 2013 Shahbag protests. The protesters were seeking trials for the perpetrators of the mass killings during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a move that was widely seen as aimed at radical Islamists. The protests were opposed by Islamic groups, who organised counter marches under the banner of a newly formed group called Hefajat-e-Islam Bangladesh.〔 ==Death== On the night of 15 February 2013, Haider was attacked as he was leaving his house in the Mirpur area of Dhaka. His body was found lying in a pool of blood, mutilated to the point that his friends could not recognise him. The following day, his coffin was carried through Shahbagh Square in a public protest by more than 100,000 people. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited his family in Palashnagar, Dhaka, and promised action. On 2 March, the Bangladesh Detective bureau arrested five members of the newly formed extremist organisation Ansarullah Bengali Team for the murder.〔 The organisation was an offshoot of the Islami Chhatra Shibir, a student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami political party. The group takes its ideology from Anwar Al-Awlaki, a Yemen-based Al-Qaeda activist who was killed in 2011. Detectives said that the attack was masterminded by the Islamic Chhatra Shibir leader 'Rana' from Jamaat-e-Islami's youth wing,〔〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/04/world/asia/bangladesh-sees-deadly-day-as-protests-persist.html〕 who had not been located two months after the event.〔(2 Months After Rajib Murder ‘Mastermind’ Rana not caught ) Daily Sun〕 The five students, Faisal bin Nayeem alias Dwip, Maksudul Hassan Anik, Ehsan Reza Rumman, Naim Sikder Irad, and Nafis Imtiaz, confessed to the crime in front of a magistrate. The students came from affluent backgrounds.〔Video report by Independent Television (Bangladesh) (bangla)〕 The day before the murder, Anik, Raza and Irad played cricket in the grounds in front of Haider's house, as part of the "Intel team".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ahmed Rajib Haider」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
