Khaleda Zia
A Dhaka court today set June 8 for hearing on charge framing against
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in 11 cases, including one filed over
sedition.

Judge KM Emrul Kayesh of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court,

set up inside Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj, adjourned the hearing and
fixed the new date, Additional Public Prosecutor Tapash Kumar Pal
confirmed to The Daily Star.

The adjournment came following separate petitions submitted on different

excuses.

Among the 11 cases, 10 were filed in the first three months of 2015 over
arson attacks.

The other case was filed with a Dhaka court on charge of making
seditious comments on freedom fighters and martyrs of the Liberation
War.

Three corruption cases against Khaleda -- Gatco, Niko and Boropukuria

coalmine -- are now pending with three other special courts in Dhaka.

Besides, two cases filed over undermining the national flag and
celebrating "fake birthday" on August 15 are now pending with the
Second Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

Moreover, several others, including three arson cases filed against her
with Cumilla's Chauddagram Police Station, are also now pending with
Cumilla courts.
Khaleda Zia, who is out of jail following an executive order from the
government, is now unwell and staying at her Gulshan residence.

She is suffering from chronic kidney conditions, decompensated liver

diseases, unstable haemoglobin, uncontrolled blood sugar, arthritis and
other old-aged complications.
