“If BNP President Khaleda Zia wants to seek medical treatment in the UK, we can make arrangements, subject to the permission of the Bangladesh government,” said Robert Chatterton Dixon, the British High Commissioner in Dhaka.
He made the remarks while attending a function of DICAB, an organization of diplomatic reporters, on Wednesday (September 30).
Under the terms of the provisional release, Begum Zia cannot go abroad even if she wants to. For this you have to request it from the government. You can only go abroad if the government authorizes it. As a result, the departure of the former prime minister is highly dependent on the will or reluctance of the government.
“We can make arrangements if BNP President Khaleda Zia wants to seek medical treatment in the UK, subject to permission from the Bangladeshi government,” the British High Commissioner said in a virtual chat on Dekab. In this case, we gladly agree.
Decab President Angur Nahar Monty, Secretary General Touhidur Rahman and other members of the organization participated in the Decab Talk.
Begum Zia’s sentence was suspended under Section 401 (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and she was released on March 25 for six months by government executive order.
Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust: Former Prime Minister and BNP President Begum Khaleda Zia has been incarcerated since February 8, 2016 after being sentenced to 17 years in these two cases. She was rushed to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital (BSMMU) in April last year after her condition worsened. Since then, she has been in treatment there for the past 11 months.
After a long incarceration of 2 years, 1 month and 19 days, the president and former prime minister of BNP, one of the largest political parties in the country, was released from BSMMU on the afternoon of March 25 with a stay of six months in the executive order of the government.
