Bangladeshi blogger: 'They want the atheists to be silenced'

A friend of Niloy Neel, a blogger murdered in Bangladesh, says Islamists in the country and even the country's government "want the atheists to be silenced".

Arif Rahman is also a blogger and writes on secular issues affecting Bangladesh.

He says the government "has not done anything to protect the bloggers".

Mr Rahman believes that they should be under police protection, which Mr Neel was not.
