Event Summary

A court in Bangladesh's capital has ordered authorities to request that International===Interpol issue a red notice for the arrest of British lawmaker Tulip Siddiq on charges of corruption in a private real estate project. Siddiq, a former British minister and MP, faces accusations of using her connection with her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, to influence land awards to a private company in Dhaka. She has already been sentenced to six years in jail in three other corruption cases involving Sheikh Hasina. Siddiq denies all allegations, calling the verdicts a 'complete farce' and asserting her British citizenship. This development follows Sheikh Hasina's ousting in 2024 and the subsequent formation of a new government under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman. Siddiq had previously resigned from her British government ministerial role due to pressure over her ties to Hasina.
