A series of unsettling incidents over recent years has cast a long shadow over the fair’s foundational principles.

The escape of these militants poses serious risks for national security.

A Dhaka court accepts charges against six members of banned militant outfit Ansar-Al-Islam in a case filed over the killing of blogger Avijit Roy on February 26, 2015.

A tribunal in Dhaka acquits Shafiur Rahman Farabi, who had issued repeated death threats to writer-blogger Avijit Roy before his death, in a case filed under the ICT case.

It may take a bit more time to submit the charge sheet of Avijit murder case, Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit (CTTC) Chief Monirul Islam says.

Police say charges in the murder case of writer-blogger Avijit Roy will be pressed before February 26 next year; the third anniversary of Roy’s killing.
