Niloy
Neel, the last blogger to be killed, knew that his life was in danger.
After his murder, it has been learnt that he went to the police seeking
protection. But instead of giving him protection, the police advised him
to go abroad. It has also been learned that Niloy told others about
this matter on May 15.
When are we ever going to learn that, sometimes, making things public
instead of keeping them secret can ensure protection? The friends of
Niloy who knew were probably concerned about him, but what about the
possibility that if they had made the matter public, could Niloy’s life
could have been saved? After Ananta was killed, we came to know that he
had been trying but had failed to go abroad. His friends knew this.
But there is no reason to feel upset that those friends failed to
create a security cordon around him. The machete is filling up the gap
created by our inability to form solidarity. The quicker you realise
that, the better it will be.
