Absconding, Suspect

In Bangladesh, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Tulip Siddiq. At and to the United Nations, she has represented the Awami League of her aunt, Sheikh Hasina. That party is noted for its torture chambers.

Right-wing Labourites are normally very particular indeed about having links only to narrowly defined "sister parties" abroad. The Awami League is not one of those. If Siddiq is a member of it, then how is that compatible with membership of the Labour Party? Yet the Awami League has huge influence over the Labour Party in Camden. And the Labour Whip in the House of Commons still extends to Siddiq.
