UN HR experts condemn killing of bloggers

The recent killing of three bloggers in Bangladesh is an alarming signal of the deterioration of the space for freedom of expression in the country, the United Nations Special  Rapporteurs on freedom of expression, David Kaye, and on extrajudicial executions, Christof Heyns, warned  Thursday.
The three bloggers had been strong promoters of free expression and critical of fundamentalism of all kinds, according to a message received from Geneva.
According to reports, Ananta Bijoy Das, who wrote for a website promoting 'science, rationalism, secularism, freethinking, human rights, religious tolerance, and harmony amongst all people in the globe,' was hacked to death in the city of Sylhet on Tuesday 12.
