Leaders rally behind Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus

Hundreds of business leaders, Nobel laureates and human rights activists are calling on Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to end the state’s politically-motivated harassment of Professor Muhammad Yunus, who has devoted his life to microfinance to help the poor.

Read the letter from global leaders and the courageous statement of support from public figures inside Bangladesh. 

The upcoming Bangladeshi election places Professor Muhammad Yunus in grave danger of being sent to prison for crimes he didn’t commit, in order to remove him as a political threat. Sign the petition to pledge your support for Professor Muhammad Yunus and a free and fair Bangladesh, and for human rights defenders everywhere.
