Murdered blogger's wife speaks out
Bonya Ahmed witnessed her husband Avijit Roy's murder in Bangladesh.
Bonya Ahmed's life was torn apart in February when she and her husband were attacked by men with machetes on the streets of Dhaka. She was badly injured but her husband Avijit Roy died. Avijit was well-known for promoting a scientific and secular view of life and his views made him enemies in his home country Bangladesh. Despite the trauma, Bonya has vowed to continue her husband's work and recently visited London to deliver a speech called Fighting Machetes with Pens at the British Humanist Association.
