Khaleda Zia's Journey to Health and Justice: A New Chapter

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia visited the US embassy to complete visa procedures, preparing for medical treatment abroad. Cleared of a corruption charge by Bangladesh's High Court, she plans to seek treatment in the UK, US, or Germany, for serious health issues.

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia took a significant step towards seeking specialized medical treatment abroad by visiting the US embassy to finalize her visa application. This development arrives amidst her ongoing battle with several serious health conditions.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader journeyed from her office in Gulshan to provide necessary fingerprints, signaling her intention to travel to the United Kingdom, where she may continue to the United States or Germany for advanced medical care.

In a notable turn of events, Bangladesh's High Court recently acquitted Zia in a corruption case, where she had previously been sentenced to seven years in prison. Following an appeal, this decision was overturned, providing Zia with a clear path to focus on health recuperation.
