DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- A district court in Bangladesh sentenced exiled writer Taslima Nasrin to a year in jail for criticizing Islam in her book, a court offical said Sunday.
The sentence will take effect the day that the feminist writer, who resides in Europe, is arrested, an official at the Gopalganj court said on the condition of anonymity. Gopalganj is about 60 miles southwest of the Bengladeshi capital, Dhaka.
Nasrin fled Bangladesh in 1994 after Islamic extremists threatened to kill her. She never appeared in court to answer the charges and had no lawyer.
Saturday's ruling came three years after an Islamic cleric sued Nasrin, accusing her of "making critical remarks" against Islam in her 1994 novel, "Lajja," which means "shame".
