‘You terrorist’: Bangladesh’s Muhammad Yunus heckled at New York airport — Why expatriates are angry | Watch
Bangladesh’s former interim leader Muhammad Yunus was heckled by Bangladeshi expatriates at New York’s JFK airport, where protesters accused him of killings and undermining democracy.
Bangladeshi Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus faced angry protesters at New York's JFK International Airport on Monday. The expatriates accused Yunus of being a "terrorist" and held him responsible for killings, undermining democracy and arresting thousands of police personnel during his brief tenure as head of Bangladesh's interim government.
Several protesters shouted at the Nobel laureate as he exited the airport in a wheelchair, while security personnel escorted him away. The confrontation reflects growing anger among some Bangladeshi expatriates over political violence, human rights abuses and allegations of arbitrary arrests during Yunus's administration.
