In Bangladesh, two students have been sentenced to death for the murder of a secular blogger. In February 2013, Ahmed Rajib Haider was hacked to death by people wielding machetes. His death was the first in a string of targeted killings of secular bloggers. Prosecutors say the students were radicalized by extremist Islamist clerics. On Thursday, a judge sentenced the two students and five others in connection with the murder.
