Charlotte Claims Dr. Yunus Has Been Hijacked by Islamic Forces and Is Profiting from the Coup

Mohammed Yunus and the Struggles of Bangladeshi Journalists: An Economist’s Analysis

In an exclusive interview with The Voice News, economist Charlotte Jacquemart shared her thoughts on the concerning socio-political developments in Bangladesh, focusing on the suppression of press freedom and the role of Nobel Laureate Dr. Mohammed Yunus. While emphasizing her lack of direct involvement in politics, Charlotte offered a candid analysis based on observations during her recent visit to Dhaka, particularly about the plight of jailed journalist Farzana Rupa.

“I’m an economist, not a politician,” Charlotte began. “I’ve never really been interested in Bangladeshi politics. But after my time in Dhaka, I had to ask some difficult questions—questions that even now don’t have clear answers. Why is this happening?”

Charlotte recounted discussions with local journalists, some of whom are now in hiding due to increasing threats. “Almost everyone said the same thing,” she revealed. “Either Dr. Yunus is unable to act because he has been hijacked by Islamic forces, or he is unwilling to act because he’s benefiting from the situation.”

Expanding on this point, Charlotte accused Dr. Yunus of using the recent coup to his advantage. “Let’s be honest, Dr. Yunus had charges and a massive tax bill hanging over him. Now that he’s in power, he’s using this opportunity to settle old scores and strengthen his own position,” she said. “This isn’t the first time he’s tried for political clout—his previous attempt to establish a political party failed miserably. Now, he’s in the driver’s seat where he’s always wanted to be.”

Farzana Rupa: A Symbol of Suppression

Charlotte expressed grave concern over the imprisonment of Farzana Rupa, a female journalist known for her courageous reporting on women’s rights, corruption, and human rights violations. She called the treatment of Rupa “an unparalleled act of suppression in Bangladeshi journalism history.”

“She’s being punished in a way that’s disproportionate and deeply alarming,” Charlotte said, attributing this to the growing influence of Islamic forces in Bangladesh’s political framework. “Islamic groups are gaining more power and enforcing a chilling environment for women who dare to speak out. Farzana Rupa is being made an example—a warning for other women to stay silent.”

A Call for International Action

Charlotte stressed that the international community must act swiftly and decisively to address the deteriorating state of press freedom in Bangladesh. She also highlighted the complicity of Bangladesh’s new power structure, particularly in enabling the continued persecution of outspoken voices like Rupa.

Her candid remarks reflect the growing international unease about the shifting power dynamics in Bangladesh and their impact on human rights and democracy. For Charlotte, this is a fight for more than just journalists like Rupa—it’s a fight for the soul of a nation increasingly under siege.
