Appeal made on behalf of Khaleda for treatment abroad

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zias younger brother Shamim Eskander appealed to the Ministry of Home Affairs to extend the suspension of Khaleda Zias jail term for the ninth time and permit her to travel abroad for better treatment.

Shamim Eskander submitted the petition on Sunday saying that BNP Chairpersons life is at risk.
Earlier on September, 18 in 2023 the government extended the conditional suspension of Khaleda Zias jail term for another six months. With this, her jail sentence suspension was extended for the eight time.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order by suspending her sentence on March 25 in 2020, with conditions that she would stay at her Gulshan house and would not leave the country. Since then, her release term has been extended every six months following the familys plea.
