Bangladesh creates truth commission
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.
