A court in Dhaka sentenced former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to five years in prison, her sister Sheikh Rehana to seven years and British Labour MP Tulip Siddiq to two years for corruption involving a government land project in the Purbachal New Town development.

The Anti-Corruption Commission alleged that Hasina, working with senior Rajuk officials, unlawfully secured six plots of land, each measuring 10 kathas or approximately 7,200 square feet, in the diplomatic zone of Sector 27 for family members despite their ineligibility.

Prosecutors said Tulip Siddiq was tried as a Bangladeshi citizen after authorities obtained a passport, national identity card and tax number, but Siddiq disputed the claim and said she is a British citizen who has not held a Bangladeshi passport since childhood.

All 17 defendants were fined 100,000 Bangladeshi Taka, equivalent to approximately $813 or 620 British pounds, with an additional six months in jail if the fines remain unpaid, and the court ordered cancellation of the plot allotted to Sheikh Rehana.

Tulip Siddiq resigned as economic secretary to the Treasury in Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Cabinet in January after an ethics investigation found no evidence of improprieties but noted she should have been more alert to reputational risks from her family ties.

Britain does not have an extradition treaty with Bangladesh, making it unlikely Siddiq would serve her sentence, and prominent British lawyers including Cherie Blair and former ministers criticized the trial as contrived and unfair with inadequate legal representation.
