It has come to the attention of the Government of Bangladesh that a group of international personalities, including political leaders, and some Bangladesh nationals have written an Open Letter to the Honourable Prime Minister regarding the ongoing judicial proceedings against Dr. Muhammad Yunus.The Open Letter is marked by an obvious gap of information and amounts to an affront to Bangladesh’s independent judicial system. It comes as a surprise to the Government that the signatories to the letter already reached their own conclusion about the merit of the sub-judice cases as well as the outcome of the judicial proceedings.The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh filed one such case under specific provisions of the Bangladesh Penal Code and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2012. The case was filed based on investigations concerning allegations of misappropriation of profits due to the workers and employees of Grameen Telecom Ltd.

But in California, officials like Berkeley Councilmember Susan Wengraf have been able to continue remotely tuning into meetings from their homes — a choice the 78-year-old, and many others like her, made amid myriad health concerns.There’s one problem: Due to Berkeley city officials’ reading of the Ralph M.
