Tulip Siddiq, niece of former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina and UK Labour MP, denounces her two-year prison sentence from a Bangladeshi anti-corruption tribunal as an "unjustified" outcome of a "kangaroo court" conducted in her absence. Prominent UK legal experts have raised serious concerns about the fairness of proceedings as Siddiq maintains she is "collateral damage" in a political vendetta against her family.
