Former Bangladesh PM Khaleda Zia will now suffer imprisonment of 10 years instead of 5 years in the orphanage corruption case, the court ordered on Tuesday. On Monday she was jailed for 7 years in another bribery case. Her sentence was extended after agreeing to Anti-Corruption Commission's review petition to extend her arrest in the orphanage graft case. This automatically means she'll not contest in upcoming elections.
