| Hasina, Khaleda to be brought to courts today |
| 2008-05-26 |
| The two former premiers of the country, Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, will appear before separate courts on the Sangshad Bhaban premises this morning. Though the two former premiers are accused in the same graft case and will appear before the courts at the same time today, they will not meet each other as their trial proceedings will be held in the different courtrooms. BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia appears before the court today for the first time since her arrest on September 3 last year. She faces trial proceedings against her in the Niko graft case. Judge Khondker Kamal Uz-Zaman will conduct the Special Judge-Court-9 on the parliament complex before which Khaleda will be produced. On the other hand, judge Amar Kumar Roy will conduct the trial proceedings against Awami League President Sheikh Hasina at the Special Judge Court-2 on the same premises to face the same case. |
