"We're facing no international pressure on the issue," Quader, general secretary of the ruling party Awami League, said on Tuesday in the backdrop of the European Union expressing its concern over Khaleda's imprisonment. Khaleda, 74, was jailed in February 2018 on corruption charges, serving 17 years of imprisonment in two cases. At present, she is undergoing medical treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital. European Union Special Representative for Human Rights Eamon Gilmore expressed concerns over Khaleda's imprisonment as he met Law Minister Anisul Huq on Monday. She should receive proper medical treatment while in prison, they said.
