Following the resignation and departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin ordered the immediate release of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. The decision was announced during a meeting with opposition party members, including the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami. Zia, a prominent opposition leader and long-time rival of Hasina, was jailed in 2018 on corruption charges. The release of Zia, along with others arrested during recent student protests, marks a significant shift in Bangladesh's political landscape amidst ongoing turmoil.
