The government has extended the suspension of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's jail sentence, allowing her to stay out of prison for another six months, reports bdnews24.com.
The home ministry maintained the same conditions on her release - that she will not be able to travel abroad and will have to get medical treatment in Bangladesh.
The home ministry issued a notice on the matter and Sharif Mahmud Apu, a spokesperson for the ministry, confirmed the extension on Wednesday.
On Mar 16, Law Minister Anisul Huq said he had sent his recommendation on the petition by Khaleda's family to the home ministry. He had added that the recommendation suggested keeping the conditions for the suspension the same.
This is the fifth time the government has extended the suspension of Khaleda's sentence.
