The future of Bangladesh's democracy is now a matter for its courts as much as its voters. On May 29th, one of them sentenced Bangladesh's two most notorious militant leaders to death by hanging. A tribunal ruled that Siddiq ul Islam, known as "Bangla Bhai", and Abdur Rahman were responsible for killing two judges in a bombing in Jhalakati in the south of the country in November last year. The two defendants are also believed to have been the masterminds of a series of other attacks, including a co-ordinated terrorist spectacular last August in which 500 tiny bombs exploded almost simultaneously in 63 out of 64 Bangladesh's districts.
