UNB: Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday reiterated that the trial regarding the case against Nobel laureate Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus is underway very transparently.
“Bangladesh’s judiciary is very transparent. Trial against Prof Yunus is going on in a very transparent way,” he said, adding that securing bail is the evidence that the trial is underway very transparently.
Dr Hasan said the aggrieved people of Yunus’ organisation filed the cases, and the government is not a party to that. He made the remarks when a journalist drew his attention regarding the remarks made by the US Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller on February 13.
Yunus on January 28 claimed that it was the government, not the workers of his company, who filed the labour law violation case against him.”I would say regarding the multiple criminal cases filed against Dr. Muhammad Yunus, we note that the labour case was tried with unusual speed,” Spokesperson Miller told reporters in a regular briefing in Washington on February 13.
