Tulip Siddiq has been sentenced to two years in prison on Monday by a court in Dhaka for her role in a corruption case linked to a government land project. The court found that Labour MP Siddiq had improperly influenced her aunt, ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, to secure a plot of land for her mother, Sheikh Rehana, who received a seven-year prison term as the main figure in the case.

The case centered on the Purbachal New Town project, a government development in a Dhaka suburb. Siddiq, representing Hampstead and Highgate in the UK Parliament, has denied all allegations. Hasina, meanwhile, was sentenced to five years in absentia, having been in exile in India since being removed from power last year.
