A court in Bangladesh has sentenced Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Grameen Bank founder Muhammad Yunus to six months in jail. Alongside three colleagues, he was found guilty by Dhaka's labor court of alleged labor law violations. The charges include not distributing 5% of the company's net profit among employees, failing to regularize 101 staffers, and not compensating workers for public holidays. However, all four deny the accusations, while organizations like Amnesty International have criticized the case as politically motivated.
