Grameen Phone, Bangladesh’s largest mobile network operator, has taken an alarming and unlawful step by blocking access to the online edition of Blitz, most influential newspaper published from Bangladesh, for its millions of subscribers. This blatant act of censorship appears to be a direct reprisal for Blitz’s fearless reporting on the widespread repression, corruption, and Islamist-jihadist agenda of Muhammad Yunus and his associates. By cutting off public access to independent journalism, Grameen Phone has effectively sided with authoritarian forces seeking to silence dissent and control the flow of information in Bangladesh.

For years, Blitz has exposed Yunus’s shady dealings – from his controversial microcredit ventures riddled with irregularities both in Bangladesh and the United States, to his close financial and political ties with figures such as George Soros, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton. Thousands of readers have now reported that they cannot access the site through Grameen Phone’s network, raising serious questions about collusion between the operator and Yunus’s unelected regime.
