Nearly 12 members of the United States Senate have written to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, urging her to stop the ‘persistent harassment’ and ‘misuse of laws and the justice system to target critics’ of Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus.
The senators are Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, Todd Young, Tim Kaine, Dan Sullivan, Jeffrey A. Merkley, Edward J. Markey, Jeanne Shaheen, Peter Welch, Sherrod Brown, Sheldon Whitehouse, Ron Wyden, and Cory Eck. Booker.
