BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will be taken to Evercare Hospital again on Monday for medical tests.

The BNP cheif will be taken to Evercare Hospital at around 3:00pm, said BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

Khaleda, a 78-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.

Khaleda Zia was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years’ imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018.

Later, she was found guilty in another corruption case the same year.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with conditions that she would stay in her Gulshan house and would not leave the country.
