Bloggers in Bangladesh

Ninety percent of Bangladeshis are Muslims. The constitution guarantees the separation of state and religion, but critics of religion have to fear for their lives. Blogger Avijit Roy was murdered by religious fundamentalists. His widow Rajida Ahmed is carrying on where her husband left off. After his death, she took over his blog "Mukto-Mona".
