Khaleda to be released through proper procedures: Home minister

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will be released following all the administrative procedures, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.

"The procedures might be finished today,"  the home minister said on Wednesday, reports Somoy TV.

Earlier Tuesday, the government decided to release Khaleda Zia from jail – suspending her prison term for six months.

The law ministry, in accordance with the Code of Criminal Procedure, sent a recommendation to the home ministry in this regard.

Khaleda can receive home treatment during this period but cannot go abroad, said Anisul.
