Former British minister and Labour MP sentenced to two years in prison!

Labour MP and former British minister Tulip Siddiq has been sentenced to two years in prison in Bangladesh after being tried in absentia along with 16 others on corruption charges, the BBC reports.

According to the court ruling, she was found guilty of exerting influence over her aunt, former ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in order to secure land for her family on the outskirts of Dhaka. Siddiq has vehemently denied these allegations.

The MP, who lives in London and has denied the charges, is not expected to serve any sentence. She currently represents the Hampstead & Highgate constituency in the British Parliament and has several other legal cases pending against her in Bangladesh.

Since the fall of Hasina's government, Bangladeshi prosecutors have opened a series of court cases against the former prime minister, her associates and family members.

The trial of Siddiq, who stepped down as finance minister in January amid controversy over her family ties to Hasina, has been ongoing in Dhaka since August.

Court documents state that Siddiq "exerted influence over her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, using her position to secure land for mother Rehana Siddiq, sister Azmina Siddiq and brother Radwan Siddiq."
