Bangladesh is grappling with the issue of freedom of speech and expression. This year alone four bloggers were hacked to death in Bangladesh for speaking out against Islamic fundamentalism, and Oct. 31 attacks killed publisher Faysal Arefin and grievously injured writers Ranadeep Basu and Tariq Ahmed and publisher Ahmed Rahim Tutul. Among those killed by the Islamic militant organization Ansarullah Bangla Team was blogger Avijit Roy, a New Yorker and the founder of the website Mukto-Mona.
