Khaleda’s sentence

AG says govt may look into it upon appeal

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam yesterday said the government may look into the suspension of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's sentence upon an appeal in this regard. He came up with the remark while talking to reporters at his office at the Supreme Court. "Usually, any sentence is suspended if a convict serves jail term for a long time. The government can suspend jail term of such convicts under special consideration. If they (BNP) can make out such a case, then the government will look into it," he said. Pointing at the Code of Criminal Procedure, 401(1), senior Supreme Court lawyer Khandaker Mahbub Hossain on Thursday demanded suspension of Khaleda's sentence to allow her to take treatment abroad as per her will. Khaleda Zia has been in jail since February 8, 2018 after she was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
