The EU “had consistently called for the release” of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia, said the EU spokesperson in a statement on Friday.
“With her health having severely deteriorated during her two years of imprisonment, we hope that Khaleda Zia will now receive the necessary medical treatment,” the statement reads.
The European Union iterated its strong support to democracy, the rule of law, the promotion of human rights and the independence of judiciary in Bangladesh.
