Washington: A New York-based think tank has relocated controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen to 'safety' in the US amid death threats from Islamist radicals, according to a press release.

The Center for Inquiry assisted in relocating the award-winning writer and human rights activist to the US last week after she was "specifically named as an imminent target by the same extremists responsible for the murders of Avijit Roy, Washiqur Rahman, and Ananta Bijoy Das", the NGO said on Monday.
