Mohammad Yunus, Bangladesh's Nobel laureate has been ordered to step down as head of the microfinance Grameen Bank he founded following a long-running dispute with the country's prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

His supporters say the Nobel Peace Prize winner has been targeted by the government ever since he tried to get involved in politics.
