PAROLE-KHALEDA-HANIF
No situation creates to free Khaleda on parole: Hanif
DHAKA, April 7, 2019 (BSS) – Awami League acting general secretary
Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif, MP, said no situation has created yet to release BNP
Chairperson Khaleda Zia on parole for treatment.
“The release of Khaleda Zia on parole is not any political issue, it’s a
legal procedure . . . But no situation has created to free her on parole,”
Hanif told journalists in reply to a query at AL President Sheikh Hasina’s
Dhanmondi political office here this afternoon.
Referring to legal procedure of parole, Hanif, one of the spokesmen of
AL, said generally the release on parole is eligible for any prisoner, who
wants to see ailing relatives or attend funeral ceremony of any relative, but
such situation has not created till now.
Khaleda sentenced for graft charge in February last year is currently
undergoing treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University
(BSMMU).
She has recently been shifted to the hospital from the old central jail
located in the old part of Dhaka.
