Rant against politicians lands Nobel laureate in court in Bangladesh

And I'm sure that the government deserved criticism.
Micro-credit pioneer and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus appeared in a Bangladesh court Tuesday on a defamation charge for reportedly criticizing politicians four years ago, court officials said.

The state prosecutor for Mymensingh district court, Wazedul Islam, confirmed Yunus' appearance, saying he "appeared in a defamation suit filed in January 2007."
