The widow of a blogger who was hacked to death in Bangladesh says she will continue to speak out on the causes of secularism and science.
Rafida Bonya Ahmed was also badly injured when her US-Bangladeshi husband Avijit Roy was killed after leaving a book fair in Dhaka last month.
Speaking to the BBC from a safe location, she said fundamentalism had “taken deep roots” in Bangladesh.
She said she was recovering slowly and had few memories of the attack.
Mr Roy’s family said he had received threats after publishing articles promoting secular views, science and social issues on his Bengali-language blog, Mukto-mona (Free Mind).
