"Murdering someone over a disagreement… eliminating someone because he said something I don't approve of! This is not the Bangladesh we dreamed of,” Roy’s father, Ajoy Roy, a respected professor and former freedom fighter had told Jahed Ahmed when he called to express condolences. The professor’s anguish is palpable. It seems unimaginable that young men and women should pay with their lives, just for expressing their views, on blogs. But that is exactly what is happening in Bangladesh: time after time after time, with cold determination.

And yet, the international community, by and large, does not seem to be sufficiently incensed. No solidarity marches in other capitals, or world leaders expressing sympathy for the victims. Not even that modern symbol of solidarity, the Twitter hashtag conveying righteous indignation and outrage.

Which is a bit ironical because these young men, too, were murdered for fighting to exercise that precious right, to the freedom of expression, just like the editors and reports of the French publication, Charlie Hebdo, who were gunned down. Was their fight any less of a good fight because they were doing it as individuals though that, in fact, probably lays them open to greater risk, without the protection of any organisation or ideology?

Or is it because Sylhet is not Paris?"

Repost of an article featured on kafila.org from April 24th 2013. 

Great premonitory piece by @MichaelEHayden :

http://kafila.org/…/why-censorship-is-the-greatest-threat-…/

"I highlight these instances that have occurred at various times over the last decade not to trivialize Mr. Rajsingh’s concerns in India Today about artistic censorship, but only to demonstrate that this threat to freedom of expression is far more severe, far more endemic than many of us would like to admit. The popular complaint about India’s reluctance to trust its citizens with foul language, incendiary art, and obscenity ought to include these more serious events, lest Mr. Trivedi’s call to battle last year be swept away with the rhythm of the news cycle. And if you prefer to imagine that such concerns do not apply to you right now, keep in mind that leadership changes are always on the horizon in a democracy: Without aggressive reform, these gaping holes in India’s legal system can be exploited by a new generation of politicians who might not be as generous in spirit as the current crop.
