Bangladesh court issues arrest warrant for former UK minister Siddiq
Briefly

Bangladeshi authorities have issued an arrest warrant for former UK minister Tulip Siddiq due to her alleged connections in a corruption case involving land appropriations related to her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Siddiq's legal representatives label the charges as unfounded and politically driven. They assert that she has no ties to any land in Bangladesh and no involvement in illicit activities concerning real estate. The situation raises questions about legal cooperation between Bangladesh and the UK, given the former's extradition classification of B2.
The allegations against Tulip Siddiq are politically motivated, according to her lawyers, emphasizing that no evidence has been provided by the ACC to support these claims.
Siddiq's legal team insists she has never had a plot of land in Bangladesh and did not influence any land allocation, stating all charges are false.
