Bangladesh has banned a radical Islamist group accused of attacking and killing atheist bloggers and other writers.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said Monday that the Ansarullah Bangla Team had been banned in response to a request by the police because it has threatened and killed bloggers, writers and activists.
Junior Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said the decision was warranted under Bangladesh’s antiterrorism law.
Since February, three bloggers who criticized radical Islam have been killed, including Avijit Roy, 42, an American citizen of Bangladeshi origin.
