| Bangladesh creates truth commission |
| 2008-07-31 |
| The Bangladesh government has created a truth commission to allow corrupt politicians and business owners to avoid jail if they confess and refund any illegally obtained money. President Iajuddin Ahmed says the three-member Truth and Accountability Commission will be headed by a fomer high court judge and will take submissions for the next five months. It's hoped the new body will clear a massive backlog of cases built up during the anti-graft campaign launched by the interim government when it took power at the start of last year. |
