Dhaka, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Aug, 2024) A Bangladeshi court on Wednesday overturned a conviction against Mohammed Yunus, a day before the Nobel winner is set to return to lead a caretaker government.
"Professor Muhammad Yunus and three of his colleagues have been acquitted of labour charges," one of his lawyers, Khaja Tanvir Ahmed, told AFP.
"The court earlier this year sentenced them to six months in prison."
He was sentenced in January for the labour charge, but immediately bailed pending appeal and later travelled abroad.
