By Redoy K

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has received a renewed passport, confirmed by her party’s media cell. The renewal process was completed on Tuesday, with her personal secretary collecting the new machine-readable passport. Zia, who was imprisoned for corruption charges, was released on executive order following Sheikh Hasina’s resignation as prime minister amid protests. Zia had been under conditional release since March 2020, with her sentence suspension extended every six months. Dhaka Tribune
