--------------------------------------------------------

In Bangladesh, a gay rights activist has been hacked to death in the
capital Dhaka. Julhas Mannan was the editor of Bangladesh's only LGBT
magazine. He was murdered alongside another man by a group of five or
six attackers wielding machetes. The killing comes just days after a
university professor was also hacked to death.
