Description
Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus enters and leaves a labour court in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where he was convicted of violating Bangladesh's labour laws in a case decried by his supporters as politically motivated. Yunus, 83, is credited with lifting millions out of poverty with his pioneering microfinance bank but has earned the enmity of longtime Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has accused him of "sucking blood" from the poor. "I have been punished for a crime that I haven't committed," Yunus tells reporters after the hearing, adding, "If you want to call it justice, you can." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
