Khaleda , the former PM of Bangladesh gets Court Bail on Corruption Charges


The detained former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Khaleda Zia on Tuesday obtained bail from the High Court in the Niko and GATCO corruption cases which removed the last barriers to her release from jail.
The High Court vacation bench of Justice Mirza Hussain Haider and Mamnoon Rahman granted Khaleda Zia, also the Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson, interim bail for three months in the last two of the four cases so far filed against her.

Additional attorney general Mansur Habib, who opposed the bail, however, told reporters the government would file an appeal with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court seeking stay on the bail in the Niko and GATCO cases.
The government filed an appeal with the Appellate Division for halting bail Khaleda earlier obtained from the High Court in two other corruption cases involving the Barapukuria coal mine and the Zia Orphanage Trust, said the state attorney, adding the petitions might come up for hearing on September 15.
