Militant group Ansar Al Islam publishes hit list of Bloggers and Free thinkers

12 August 2015

The notorious Islamic militant group Ansarullah Bangla Team (ATB), has claimed for a series of killings of ‘free thinkers’ in Bangladesh, has published a hit list of bloggers and activists around the world, threatening to kill them.

The hit list, issued in an announcement on the Internet, incorporates for the most part of exiled Bangladeshis—nine from the U.K., seven in Germany, two in the U.S., one in Canada and one in Sweden.

The ABT has distributed the list after a few of its fanatics and activists were captured by the Bangladesh police, including the outfit's acting boss Muhammad Abul Bashar, regarding the killing of bloggers.

English daily paper The Guardian reported that the U.K.- based bloggers of Bangladeshi inceptions named on the list have drawn closer the police in London and somewhere else taking after its distribution.

Group of bloggers said they have reasons to be frightened with the new list, yet included that dangers would not prevent them from composing. The ABT pioneer, Bashar and his two partners were captured not long ago in Dhaka for their charged association in the slaughtering of Bangladeshi-American mainstream blogger and science author Avijit Roy.

In February 2013, ABT activists hacked to death Ahmed Rajib Haider, another mainstream blogger who was a coordinator of 'Shahbagh movement, requesting most extreme punishment for the 1971 war offenders.


In May this year, Ananta Bijoy Das was hacked to death by Islamic fanatics in  In Sylhet. The most recent casualty is Niloy Neel, who was killed in Dhaka. Another blogger The Bangladesh government has as of late asked the bloggers to keep up "a breaking point" in their compositions so that religious notions of the general population are not influenced.

The police have as of late charged a few ABT agents and coordinators for the homicide of a 27-year-old blogger, Washiqur Rahman, in March this year in Dhaka. Rahman's demise came weeks after Avijit Roy was killed in the capital city in February. Roy's U.S.- based dowager, likewise a blogger, who barely got away from the fierce assault on her better half, is among those named on the new list.
  
I observed the list, seemed to me, calling ''another 14 December'' the darkest day of bangladesh history when the number of intellectuals were killed by Pakistani Military.  In independent Bangladesh, never seen such as brutal and barbaric act of religious terrorism.

Those who out of country, they are safe now, but who staying in Bangladesh, under massive death threat. The list, full of intellectuals and secular personality including Jafor Iqbal (professsor of Shajala university of science and technology), Nirmulendu goon and mohadev (wellknown poets), Shariar kabir (secretary of  Ghatok dala nirmul commitee), Abed khan (former editor of the daily samakal and The kaler kantho), Muntasir mamun (novelist), Mofidul hoque ( Liberation war researcher), Mohammed A Arafat(faculty of independent university), Ramendu mazumder ( Drama personality and actor ), Syed anwar hossain( Professor of Dhaka university), Syed Hasan Imam(actor and director), Turin Afroz(Barrister), Omi Rahaman pial (blogger and liberation war researcher),Imran h sarker(spokeperson of Ghonojagoron manch), Arif jebtik(blogger), Bappaditto basu(blogger), Kamal pasha chowdhury(journalist), Lucky akter(activist), Jonardhon datta nantu(blogger), Ibrahim khalil sobak(blogger), dr Nazmul hasan(Medicine specialist and blogger), Arifuzzaman prithil(blogger),Kaniz aklima sultana(blogger),FM shahin(blogger), Tamimul Ahsan(blogger),Imtiaz Morshed(blogger), Azim(Blogger and filmmaker) and Shammi haque(activist),.

I believe, By killing the intellectuals and freethinkers as well as secular force, they are trying to destroy country's backbone. To be noted, Bangladesh was born with the spirit of democracy and secularism. Sadly, the emerging islamic extremism making the country just hell with their brutality and barbarism.

The militant group posted on its site a narrative video entitled 'Kill Democracy', which explains that vote based system is not an Islamic framework and the western arrangement of vote based system is totally in struggle with Islam.

‘Our beloved country has become a fertile land of Islamic extremism, Intellectuals being killed by fanatics and there is no credible step to confront the threat’ says exiled blogger Azim. He added ‘The government of Bangladesh is not willing to protect freethinkers, writer and bloggers to hold the autocracy’. Illegal government has been defeated to Islamic fanatics and surrendered to the militancy.
