While students' vandalism continues in Bangladesh as they are still holding seizure of the Bangladeshi parliament. The scenes are still very ugly and grim.
While Prof Yunus has been lauded for his pioneering use of microloans, Ms Hasina regarded him as a public enemy - he is currently on bail, appealing against a six-month jail term in what he has called a politically-motivated case.
Prof Yunus, who was sentenced to six months in jail in January for violating labour laws, has said he too was a victim of Ms Hasina's ire. He has faced other allegations in the past, going back to 2011 when he was accused of defaming Bangladesh's politicians.

Who is Mohammad Yunus?

What's brewing in here? A court on Bangladesh has overturned the conviction in minutes. How on earth courts working like this? There will be no trial. Without any trial! Isn't it fishy?

I admit that I am quite ignorant about this situation. At first when I saw the news that the dictatorship in Bangladesh had been overthrown, I was very happy, I thought it meant something good... but then I saw all the news, I read more in depth and I was horrified by what was happening. The lack of tolerance for religious differences is inhuman, but as I say, I am ignorant about this, there are things I still don't understand. Thank you for posting and learning a little more and assimilating what is happening on the other side of the world.

Thanks for reading and presenting your views!
At first, I also felt the same about Venezuela. But when I dig deeper, I also found it to be much worse than I thought.

It's hard to know everything, but it's great that here at SN we can find out a little bit about everything. Social media and newscasts are not very useful, sometimes a country's problem is the trend in newspapers, TV shows and social media and then they forget about it. When the war between Russia and Ukraine started, it was the only thing that was talked about for a week, and then all the media ignored it. With Palestine and Israel it was the same story...
