Muhammad Yunus: Bail and Fear in Bangladesh

Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, known for founding Grameen Bank and pioneering microcredit, faces legal charges and alleged political persecution in Bangladesh under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. Critics, including former U.S. officials, have raised concerns about the country's judicial system and electoral processes. Yunus, who has been targeted by Hasina, remains committed to staying in Bangladesh despite pressure to leave, citing concern for the people he works with.
