BNP chief Khaleda Zia’s relatives weren’t allowed to meet her for over three weeks, alleged Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
“It’s been over 21/22 days since Khaleda Zia’s relatives met her,” said the senior joint secretary general.
He further said, “The jail code allows a prisoner to meet relatives after every seven days, but they made it 15 days regarding Khaleda Zia. Now the authorities aren’t even allowing her relatives to meet every 15 days.”
“Prohibiting Khaleda Zia’s close relatives from meeting her is a serious mental repression. The country’s people, not only her relatives, are worried over the matter,” added Rizvi.
He alleged that the government is trying to keep Khaleda isolated from the outside world by confining her behind bars.
A three-time premier Khaleda, has been serving a 10-year jail term since Feb 8 last year when she convicted of embezzling funds meant for Zia Orphanage Trust.
