Mannan, a prominent LGBTQ+ rights activist and the founder of Roopbaan, Bangladesh’s first and only LGBT magazine, was hacked to death on April 25, 2016, by Al-Qaeda-linked extremists. As a high-profile face of the LGBTQ+ movement in the country, he was targeted along with his colleague, Mahbub Rabbi Tonoy. Despite public outrage and calls for justice, their murderers have not yet been brought to trial, leaving the case unresolved.
