Allow 3 BNP leaders to go abroad
HC asks govt
The High Court yesterday directed the government not to bar three BNP leaders, including Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain, from going abroad.
Two other BNP leaders are Advocate Sanaullah Mia and Barrister Nasiruddin Ahmed Asim.
An HC bench of Justice Miftah Uddin Chowdhury and Justice Quazi-Reza-ul Hoque passed the orders following three separate writ petitions filed by the leaders seeking direction on the government to allow them to go abroad and return to the country.
They filed the petitions with the HC on Tuesday, apprehending that the government might restrict them from leaving the country, as the Bengali daily The Amar Desh in September published a report saying that the home ministry had made a list of 70 people loyal to the opposition, and they would be barred from leaving the country.
The report identified the petitioners as three of them.
Advocate Khandker Mahbub Hossain appeared for the petitioners.
