Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus was convicted on Monday of violating Bangladesh's labour laws, a prosecutor told AFP, in a case decried by his supporters as politically motivated.
"Professor Yunus and three of his Grameen Telecom colleagues were convicted under labour laws and sentenced to six months in simple imprisonment," prosecutor Khurshid Alam Khan told AFP, adding that all four were immediately granted bail pending appeals.
