Download PDF The government will take appropriate steps for the proper treatment of detained former premier Khaleda Zia “at home or abroad” through a coordinated legal process, a government announcement said yesterday.
The assurance came shortly after another detained ex-premier, Sheikh Hasina, was released by an executive order for an interim period for a trip abroad on medical grounds.
Sheikh Hasina’s family appealed for permission to take her abroad for treatment in March.
On June 5, the government formed a medical board for a needs assessment in order to provide her with better treatment.
“The government has always been conscious about the health complications of physical fitness of both former premiers,” the Press Information Department (PID) release said, adding that the government has ensured the country’s “best medical facilities” for their treatment.
The requisite legal process is now over, and following the medical board’s recommendations, the government has decided to allow Sheikh Hasina go abroad for better treatment “at her own will”, the PID release said.
