Following the brutal murder of secular blogger Niladri Chatterjee Niloy, exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen has said no critic of fanatic Islam is safe in Bangladesh.
The writer, who was forced to leave Bangladesh in 1994 when extremists threatened to kill her for criticising Islam, also criticised the government and the law enforcers for their failure to catch the killers of Niloy. [/su_column] [/su_row]

Masud Sheikh from Koyra village of Khulna, whom I met first on May 27, 2009, two days after cyclone Aila hit the southwest coast, lost everything. He was looking for shelter, food, clothes for him and his family. A year later, I met him pulling a rickshaw at the Khulna Sonadanga Bus terminal.
“I came here a week after Aila. As you know, due to Aila, I lost everything- my home, my farm and even my livestock. I went to the ward members, chairman, NGOs, but did not get enough support. My brother-in-law lives in Sonadanga, he told me to come to Khulna. I am not educated, but I am the only earning member of my six member family. I kept my daughter with my wife in the village. She is going to school there. My son is with me and is going to school here. After school he works at a tea-stall near the slum where we live. My wife works in a biscuit factory. I’m pulling a rickshaw. My income is very poor, I hardly earn Tk300 to Tk350 per day. I don’t earn the same amount of money every day. If my wife’s job becomes permanent, we will settle here.” [/su_column] [/su_row]
