Bangladesh hands down jail sentences to former PM and her Labour MP niece
Guvern
Bangladesh has sentenced former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, and her niece, Labour MP Tulip Siddiq, to jail in a corruption probe. The country's corruption watchdog alleges that Hasina colluded with government officials to illegally secure six plots for herself and her family in a development near the capital, Dhaka. Now she's been sentenced to 10 years in jail, and Siddiq to four years, with another niece, Azmina Siddiq, and nephew, Radwan Mujib Siddiq, each receiving seven-year sentences.
