TIL Desk/World/Dhaka/ As former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia on Saturday completed two years in prison, members and activists of her Bangladesh National Party (BNP) were losing hope of her release through legal and political means, a media report said on Saturday.
Zia, who was jailed for 17 years on February 8, 2018 in two corruption cases, has been receiving treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Medical University since last April. The two graft cases involve the Zia Orphanage Trust and Zia Charitable Trust.
The top leaders, however, are saying that they will continue their efforts to get the 73-year-old BNP supremo out of prison. “We tried the legal and political means. Since the government kept her in jail out of vengeance, we could not get her released. But we believe that we will succeed in the coming days,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told.
