Bangladesh jails 111 border guards for mutiny
A Bangladeshi special court jailed 111 border guards for up to seven years yesterday for their roles in a bloody 2009 mutiny, which left 74 people dead, a state prosecutor said.
Bangladesh said on Tuesday it had reformed its paramilitary border force, empowering its commanders to impose the death penalty for the most serious offences, following a mutiny last year that shook the country's stability.
