Asad Noor, an outspoken Bangladeshi blogger, has been facing threats and intimidation from both state and non-state actors for supporting minorities and criticizing Islamic fundamentalism. In July, Noor published several video blogs protesting the persecution of Bangladesh's minority Buddhist community in Rangunia. A local leader of the country's ruling party Awami League (AL) sued the blogger under the Digital Security Act, accusing him of "hurting religious sentiments" and "running propaganda against the spirit of the liberation war." "In my YouTube and Facebook videos, I have been criticizing Islam and Prophet Mohammad, referencing the Quran and the Hadith. At the same time, I am critical about political Islam. That's why Islamists are angry with me," Noor told German news agency DW.
