The government has extended BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s prison term suspension by six more months in two cases over corruption.
The Home Ministry on Tuesday passed an executive order for the BNP chief's release following an appeal from her family.
Khaleda’s previous suspended sentence is scheduled to end on September 24, reports bdnews24.com
The government freed her on March 25 for six months following the family’s petition amid the coronavirus pandemic on two conditions -- receiving treatment staying at her Gulshan residence and not leaving the country.
Khaleda has been staying at her Gulshan residence since she was released. A special team of her personal physicians has been overseeing her health condition.
