Bangladesh Government Fires Judge for Bribery - 2004-04-20


A High Court judge in Bangladesh has been fired for taking a bribe.

A spokesman for the Law Ministry told journalists in Dhaka on Tuesday, Bangladeshi President Iajuddin Ahmed ordered the removal of Justice Syed Shahidur Rahman on recommendation of a judicial council.

The move follows an allegation that the judge had taken money from a man on trial after promising to get him freed on bail.

It is the first time a judge has been removed from office in Bangladesh
