Protests planned after secular Bangladeshi blogger killed by suspected Islamist militants in Dhaka

• Nazimuddin Samad, a law student at a Dhaka university, was attacked at night by a group of machete-wielding men while returning home from class.
• An online activist group described Samad as “a loud voice against all injustice and also a great supporter of secularism,” and students at Jagannath University have called for demonstrations in protest of his murder.
• The murder follows six similar killings in 2015 and attacks on foreign nationals in Bangladesh.
