A Bangladesh court handed down jail sentences to exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her niece, UK lawmaker Tulip Siddiq, on corruption charges.
The court in Dhaka on Monday sentenced Hasina to 10 years after she was accused by the country’s corruption watchdog of illegally securing property in a government land project near the capital for herself and family members.
