‘I’m completely baffled by the entire thing,’ says Labour MP Tulip Siddiq over jail sentence

Labour MP Tulip Siddiq has mentioned she is "absolutely baffled" by the jail sentence she has been handed for corruption in Bangladesh.

Ms Siddiq was accused of acquiring plots of land from her aunt, the nation’s former prime minister, in Dhaka’s diplomatic zone, by means of "abuse of power and influence". She was being tried in absentia.

She instructed Sky News: "I’m absolutely baffled by the whole thing. I’ve still had no contact whatsoever from the Bangladeshi authorities despite them spreading malicious allegations against me for a year and a half now."
