The Catholic editor of a Bangladeshi newsletter critical of the government has fled to the US in fear of her life, the Catholic News Service (CNS) reported.

Rosaline Costa, 67, has for 30 years been editor of Hotline Bangladesh, a monthly publication which chronicles corruption, crime, terror and religious violence in the country.

Now living in New York City, Costa is reported to be working out how to keep the newsletter going remotely.  Since July, Costa has been staying with two nephews and a niece, both of whom themselves left Bangladesh after threats and harassment.

The journalist told the CNS that her niece's Muslim uncle was trying to force her into marrying him, and that one nephew was taken to a mosque and told to convert to Islam under fear of death.

The other nephew, an art student, was followed by Muslims and told to convert and then join in trying to recruit others to Islam. Costa said: "After that, I did not allow him to go to the university any more for classes".

Bangladesh has seen a rise in religious violence in recent years.  Recently, Islamist terrorists have been stepping up their persecution of Christians in Bangladesh after a rapid rise in converts.
