Washiqur Rahman (Bengali: ওয়াশিকুর রহমান বাবু) (c. 1988 - March 30, 2015) was a Bangladeshi blogger.
He was hacked to death by two men with meat cleavers in Dhaka, Bangladesh, after he wrote blog posts critical of Islam.
Rahman used the pen name Kucchit Hasher Channa, or Ugly Duckling.
Two students from an Islamic school were arrested by police.
The two said they didn't know about Rahman's writing and they didn't know anything about blogs.
Someone told them to kill Rahman as a religious duty.
One of the attackers traveled from Chittagong and stayed overnight at a mosque.
The other attacker was from an Islamic school in Dhaka.
Rahman had a page on Facebook that said "I am Avijit", meaning he was a supporter of Avijit Roy, a Bangladeshi-American blogger who was killed a month earlier.
On July 20, 2016, a Dhaka court indicted five people for the killing.
Police believed they were members of the banned militant group Ansarullah Bangla Team.
Faisal Abedin Deepan (Bengali: ফয়সাল আরেফিন দীপন)(c.
1972 - 31 October 2015) was a Bangladeshi book publisher of the Jagriti Prokashoni publishing house.
He was hacked to death inside his house in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital.
Deepan was a secular book publisher who printed writing that discussed topics like atheism and sexual orientation.
He had received death threats from religious extremists.
He published books by Bangladeshi-American writer and blogger Avijit Roy who was the four secular bloggers killed in Bangladesh the same year.
Dipan's father said his company had published Avajit Roy's 2014 book, Biswasher Virus (The Virus of Faith).
An hour earlier, another publisher and two writers were attacked, but they survived.
A local al-Qaeda group said they were responsible for the attack.
Ahmed Rahim Tutal, a secular publisher, was attacked in his office at the Shudhdhoswar publishing house.
British politicians condemned the murder.
British bishop Declan Lang, the chair of the international affairs department of the British bishops' conference, said that the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales should "speak out when people are imprisoned, tortured or killed on account of their atheism."
Eric Adriaans, the National Executive Director of Centre For Inquiry Canada said that Canada should offer asylum to people targeted by religious extremists.
The International Publishers Association honored Deepan at their annual conference and called on the United Nations to do more about freedom of expression in Bangladesh.
Tutul sent a message to the conference, saying: "If Jagriti Faisal Abedin Deepan were alive today, he would play an important role in this conference.
But because he published free-thinking books, Islamist fundamentalists killed him.
I urge all my publisher friends to continue to publish the works of free thinkers.
I believe this is the best reply to the fundamentalists.
By increasing the number of people that free-thinking books can reach, we'll be able to weaken fundamentalism in Bangladesh."
Tutal also called for freedom for Bangladeshi writer and publisher, Shamsuzzoha Manik.
Manik was arrested under a Bangladeshi law that prohibits criticism of religion.
Manik is 73 years old and published a titled "Islam Bitorko" ("Debate on Islam").

Delbert Lee "Cigar" Daisey (March 6, 1928 – April 19, 2017), known as "Cigar" Daisey, was an American waterfowl wood carver and decoy maker.
He was born in Chincoteague, Virginia.
He lived at the Refuge Waterfowl Museum.
His decoy carvings are recognized for both their artistic value and functionality as working pieces for waterfowl hunting.
He had carved about 1900 ducks in total and he generally used cork or wood as his medium.
He carved his first duck out of balsa wood in 1940 at his father's wood shop.
The Smithsonian has his works in their collection.
He earned his nickname in 1945 while leaving cigar butts to taunt game wardens while poaching ducks on Assateague Island.
Later in life, Daisey was an avid conservationist.

A ramjet is a type of engine which uses the properties of air to create thrust.
Ramjets are most often attached to aircraft, and require that the aircraft is moving above the speed of sound, also called Mach 1.
They are different from "normal" aircraft engines because they do not have any moving parts which compress the air.
Instead, they use shock waves to compress the air.
Parts of a Ramjet
The first section is called the inlet.
The purpose of the inlet is to capture air and compress it.
Compression is required in order to burn the fuel correctly.
The compression comes from a process called a shock wave.
Shock waves only occur when the aircraft is moving at or above Mach 1.
For this reason, ramjets are more efficient if moving around Mach 2 or 3.
The second part of the ramjet is called the diffuser.
Air that comes through the inlet is moving very fast, which makes it very hard to burn fuel.
The job of the diffuser is to slow the flow down in an efficient way.
By the time the air has passed all the way through the inlet, it is traveling slower than Mach 1.
This is important for the diffuser to work properly.
The diffuser is essentially just a pipe that increases in area as you move along it.
Because the flow moving slower than Mach 1, the increasing area causes the air to slow down.
Combustion chamber
The third part of the ramjet is the combustor, also called the combustion chamber.
The combustor is where the fuel is introduced to the air, and then burns.
Burning fuel adds energy to the air, which will be later used to create thrust.
The air must be moving relatively slowly for the combustor to work properly.
There is a part inside the combustor called the flame holder.
The flame holder, as the name suggests, holds the flame in place.
A typical flame holder looks like a ring of small v-shaped pieces of metal.
They create little pockets of slow air, which make it easier for the fuel to keep burning.
After the fuel is burned and the air is heated, it flows through the last part, the nozzle.
The purpose of the nozzle is to turn all of the energy in the air into thrust.
In order to do this, the nozzle must first get smaller then get larger.
The smallest area of the nozzle is called the "throat".
The air coming from the combustor is moving slower than Mach 1, so as the nozzle gets smaller, the air speeds up.
The nozzle is designed so that once the air reaches the throat, it has sped all the way up to Mach 1.
This is an important detail for the nozzle to work properly.
Once the air passes the throat, the air gets larger again.
Since the flow reached Mach 1 in the throat, increasing the area also increases the speed of the air.
This is the key to creating thrust.
The air exiting the nozzle essentially "pushes" the ramjet forward.

Cryotherapy is using a freezing chamber (usually -110 degrees) to help muscles recover.
Cyrotherapy is said to multiple applications.
The word "Cryo" comes from Greek language, which means icy or cold.
Cryotherapy is a procedure that exposes the body to temperatures colder than -200 degrees for about 3 minutes.
The practice is said to have originated in Japan in late 1970s when a Japanese rheumatologist used cold temperatures to treat his patients painful joints.
Cryotherapy is also used to treat cancer, wherein, extreme coldtemperatures destroy cancer cells.
