The targeting of atheist and secularist intellectuals is a strategic campaign intended to push Bangladesh away from its secular foundation. Several prominent humanist and secular bloggers have been murdered on the streets of Dhaka, including Avijit Roy, a Bangladesh-American, who founded Mukto-Mona, an Internet community for freethinkers, rationalists, skeptics, atheists and humanists of mainly Bengali and other South Asian descent. Roy’s widow, Rafida Bonya Ahmed, survived the attack by religious fundamentalists and will speak on how humanists must fight fundamentalism and all forms of oppression around the world.
