Ghulam Azam taken for MRI scan
Prison guards aided by police and Rapid Action Battalion yesterday took former Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Ghulam Azam to Dhaka Medical College Hospital from his prison cell at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) for an MRI scan.
Witnesses said Ghulam Azam was taken away from BSMMU on a prison van around 5:30pm and brought back around 6:30pm.
BSMMU's MRI scanner does not work, said BSMMU Director Brig Gen Abdul Majid Bhuiyan, adding that the jail authorities are bearing the scanning cost as Ghulam Azam is under jail custody.
Ghulam Azam was shifted to the prison cell nearly four hours after he was sent to jail on January 11 by the International Crimes Tribunal in connection with crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
