Categorizing as Bangladeshi bloggers

edit

None of the newspapers I have read so far mentioned him as a blogger. It could be true that he used to maintain some kind of blog occasionally but as we have no references of such kind this article shouldn't probably be categorized as "Bangladeshi bloggers." — T. 10:24, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wikitanvir I think you are right - it is best to remove it. The news is not completely clear. See these -
"Xulhaz Mannan hacked to death in country where several academics and bloggers have been brutally murdered", "he editor of Bangladesh’s only LGBT magazine has been killed in the latest of a series of horrific murders of bloggers and activists.", "The deaths of Mannan and his friend adds to a series of horrific murders of bloggers and academics in the country."
"These two killings are just the most recent in a series of hostile attacks that have been launched against Bangladeshi bloggers, intellectuals, and atheists since February 2015."
It seems like this death is being grouped with the deaths of bloggers. It seems like the sources put this event in the same group as attacks on secularists in Bangladesh but they are not calling this person a blogger. Blue Rasberry (talk) 11:30, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
