IN PRISON SINCE FEBRUARY

BNP have been campaigning for her release since the start. Their leaders have been alleging that the government is “trying to keep Khaleda from the elections” expected in December.
Her personal doctors who met her in jail said she suffered a “mild stroke” on June 5.Earlier in April, Khaleda was taken to the BSMMU for checkups.
