Het onder druk van protest aftreden van de hoogste rechter van Bangladesh heeft als officiële reden dat hij gezegd zou hebben dat de interim-regering illegaal is.
De interim-regering wordt voorgezeten door Mohammad Yunus. Yunus is door zijn voormalige bank, de Grameen Bank voorgedragen voor onderzoek. Zie het vorige bericht: https://mastodon.nl/@Ratanashi/112916411590841737
Protest heeft ws. ten doel te voorkomen dat Yunus wordt voorgeleid.

Bangladesh.
Kort nadat de sinds 2011 onder vuur liggende Grameen Bank (26-5-24 ; https://www.tbsnews.net/bangladesh/illegally-lending-family-owned-firm-grameen-bank-requests-acc-inquiry-against-dr-yunus) onderzoek naar Mohammad Yunus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Yunus#Controversies) wilde, stelde een soort overgangsregering op 5 augustus voor dat Yunus de volgende regering zou samenstellen.

Disturbing. No one should be above the rule of law, but this seems like a political smear — probably illegal / extralegal. Just bad — "#Bangladesh Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus's woes turn focus on rule of law."

#Grameen Bank's #microcredit lending and the other organizations created by Muhammad Yunus have done much more good than harm; and at age 83, Yunus doesn't seem like he's turned to a life of crime. 😡

I say this as a longtime #Grameen Bank and #microloans skeptic, this flatout persecution of #MuhammadYunus is utterly mind boggling.
