Nobel Peace Prize recipient and co-owner of Grameenphone, Muhammad Yunus, is currently considering taking legal action against Telenor, for the company's failure to stamp out the use of child labour by its subcontractors in Bangladesh.In a press release published on September 4th, 2008, Yunus wrote that:
-Neither I nor Grameenphone can accept this conduct. Twice the authorities in Bangladesh have found the company not to be in compliance with the current legislation of the country.
Telenor's CEO, Jon Fredrik Baksaas, has promised to look into the matter.
