The country's court issued an arrest warrant against Muhammad Yunus, who founded the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh to give unsecured small loans to the poor and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Although it was because the court had not responded to the court order over the employee's dismissal, it seems to be a political movement against the backdrop of the sympathy with Prime Minister Hasina.
According to local media, Mr. Yunus was accused of being fired by an employee of the company he was chairman of in July this year because he organized a trade union. The court issued a court order to Yunus, but he refused to respond because he was overseas.
Yunus ’s lawyer told local media that “the official court order had not been issued by the court. I was recently informed.
Yunus was dismissed from the founding president of Grameen Bank in 2011. It is said that Prime Minister Hasina, who received a high reputation both in Japan and abroad and threatened to enter the political world, applied political pressure. Later, he was questioned for tax evasion and defamation. (Chennai = Ken Narabe)
