The ministry also recommended keeping the conditions for the suspended prison term unchanged, Law Minister Anisul Huq told bdnews24.com on Thursday. Khaleda’s suspended sentence is scheduled to end on Sept 24. Her brother Shamim Eskander filed a plea with the government seeking an extension of her suspended prison sentence on Tuesday ahead of the end of the term. The 75-year-old former prime minister had been receiving treatment in hospital under the supervision of the prison authorities. The BNP said extending Khaleda’s suspended prison sentence is urgently necessary because she has not recovered yet and she is in the same condition as before.
