UK government 'raises LGBT rights concerns' with Bangladesh

Pink News/By Nick Duffy    05/30/2016

"The UK government has raised concerns with Bangladesh after a gay journalist was murdered by terror-affiliated groups.
Xulhaz Mannan, the editor of Bangladesh's only LGBT magazine Roopban, was hacked to death alongside friend Mahbub Tonoy last month, in the latest of a string of killings.
An affiliate of terrorist group Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the murder and posted a gory video appearing to show the man's body.
One militant has been arrested in connection with the attack."
