Destiny 2000 Distributors Begin Hunger Strike

  • Dhaka, Bangladesh -- On Sunday, approximately 1,000 Destiny 2000 distributors gathered in Ramna Park and began a mass hunger strike, hoping to persuade Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to unfreeze the company's seized bank accounts, free its Chairman and Managing Director, and halt plans for administrative intervention in the company's dealings.

    The distributors claim that they do not have any problems with Destiny 2000 or its officers, which have been charged with money laundering and banking irregularities. A spokesperson for the protestors said "Distributors do not want any government-appointed administrators to Destiny."

    He added that the distributors' protest will extend to police stations across the country if their demands are not met.
