Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus has said a Dhaka court punished him for the wrongdoing he “did not commit” after his conviction for labour law violations. “You can call this justice if you want to,” he said in his immediate reaction after the Judge Sheikh Marina Sultana of the Dhaka Third Labour Court gave the ruling in the case on Monday. She sentenced Yunus, the chairman of Grameen Telecom, and three other executives of the firm, to six months in jail. The court fined them Tk 5,000 under Section 303 (3) of the Labour Act. They were also fined an additional Tk 25,000 under Section 307 of the same law.
