Dhaka, BANGLADESH: (FILES) In this picture taken 25 August 2000, Bangladesh's deposed president Hussain Muhammad Ershad receives flowers from a supporter after Friday noon prayers in Dhaka. A court in the Bangladesh capital 17 September 2006, has cleared former military dictator Ershad of corruption charges that have been pending for 15 years, a public prosecutor said.The not guilty verdict was handed down by a Dhaka court amid media reports that such a decision would pave the way for an alliance between Ershad and Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's four-party coalition government ahead of national polls in January 2007.The case, lodged by the now defunct Anti-Corruption Bureau in 1991, alleged that Ershad used his power to give 49 residential plots to ministers, politicians, journalists and film stars.
