Rafida Ahmed Bonya, wife of slain blogger-writer Avijit Roy, today released a statement following the verdict in the murder case.
"Simply prosecuting a few foot-soldiers -- and ignoring the rise and roots of extremism -- does not mean justice for Avi's death, nor for the deaths of the 'bloggers, publishers and homosexuals' before and after him as part of the serial killings," the statement said.
A Dhaka tribunal today sentenced five members of banned militant outfit Ansar-al-Islam to death and another to life for killing Avijit.
