Dhaka, Feb 4 (efe-epa).- A Bangladesh court on Thursday sent 50 opposition members up to 10 years in jail after finding them guilty in an attack on a motorcade of Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina nearly two decades ago.
The motorcade of the incumbent prime minister came under attack in August 2002, when she was the opposition leader.
Public Prosecutor Abdul Lalif said Judge Humayun Kabir, the Chief Judicial Magistrate Judge of the southern Satkhira district, convicted all the 50 accused.
The defendants included a former Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) lawmaker Habibul Islam Habib.
