DHAKA, 8 March, 2021 (TON): As the BNP (Bangladesh National Party) chief Khaleda Zia sentenced to jail for two corruption cases, the law ministry has recommended extending a freeze on her jail sentences on the writ of her brother.

On Monday, the law ministry said that the recommendation has been sent out to the home ministry.

The 76-year-old former prime minister had served 25 months out of 17 years of prison sentences in two graft cases, involving Zia Orphanage Trust and Zia Charitable Trust before she was released amid the pandemic.

The government suspended the sentences of Khaleda twice before for six months each on the condition of receiving treatment at home and not abroad.
