DHAKA: A Bangladesh court on Tuesday ruled that an award-winning British journalist was guilty of contempt for questioning the official death toll of three million in the country's 1971 war.

The judges said a 2011 blog post by David Bergman had "hurt the feelings of the nation" and ordered him to pay a fine of $65 or go to prison for seven days.
