SC asks for admitting Manna to Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital
The Supreme Court today upheld a High Court order that had asked the prison authorities to admit Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna to Dhaka’s Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital for treatment.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha dismissed a petition filed by the government seeking a stay on the HC order.
The High Court on May 31 ordered the jail authorities to admit Manna to the hospital for his treatment immediately.
Later on, the government submitted the petition seeking a stay on the HC order.
Manna was arrested on February 25 last year after a telephone conversation with BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka about strengthening the anti-government movement, was leaked.
