Govt decides to release Khaleda Zia
The government has decided to release BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail suspending her imprisonment for six months.
Law minister Anisul Huq said this at a press conference at his home on Tuesday afternoon.
The law ministry has sent recommendations to the home ministry in this regard.
The minister said Khaleda Zia would be allowed to receive treatment at her residence, but she won’t be allowed to travel abroad.
Anisul Huq also said she will be freed upon the home ministry’s approval.
Considering the present situation, the minister added, sending her aboard for treatment will be ‘suicidal’.
The former prime minister has been in jail since she was convicted in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on 8 February 2018.
