"Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus Receives 6-Month Jail Sentence for Labour Law Violations in Bangladesh"

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, known for pioneering microfinance through Grameen Telecom, has been sentenced to six months in jail by a Bangladeshi court for labor law violations, including failing to confirm employees after probation and withholding dividends. Yunus, who denies wrongdoing, plans to appeal the verdict, which his defense team claims is politically motivated and flawed. The case adds to a history of legal challenges for Yunus, who has previously faced corruption charges and conflicts with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
