Candles lit in remembrance of LGBT activists Xulhaz Mannan murder in Dhaka
A candle-lit prayer was held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 25 April 2017 in remembrance, one year after the gruesome murders of LGBT activists Xulhaz Mannan and his friend Tonoy. The remembrance was organised by an LGBT activist at Shahbagh intersection. Xulhaz was a USAID official and also editor of Bangladesh’s first LGBT magazine ‘Roopbaan’ and was a cousin of former foreign minister and ruling Awami League leader Dipu Moni. A gang of assailants, posing as delivery men, entered Xulhaz’s apartment building in Dhaka’s Kalabagan and killed him and his friend Tonoy with machetes on April 25 last year.
