Some 25 people, many members of Bangladesh's ruling Awami League party, were charged with murder Wednesday over the brutal killing last month of a university student who criticised the government on social media.
The battered body of 21-year-old Abrar Fahad was found in his dormitory hours after he wrote a post on
Facebook slamming Dhaka for signing a water-sharing deal with India.
Police said he was beaten to death by fellow students -- many members of the ruling Awami League's university branch.
