Description
A Bangladesh court on Tuesday sentenced to death six Islamist extremists for the brutal murders of two gay rights activists, prosecutors said.
Xulhaz Mannan, editor of a magazine for Bangladesh's gay and lesbian community, and fellow activist Mahbub Tonoy were hacked to death in a Dhaka apartment by machete and gun wielding attackers in April 2016.
A special anti-terrorism tribunal ordered the death penalty for six members of militant Islamist group Ansar Al-Islam, prosecutor Golam Sarwar Khan said. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
