Abul Hasnat freed on bail
Awami League (AL) leader and former chief whip Abul Hasnat Abdullah was freed on bail yesterday.
Caretaker of Dhaka Central Jail Touhid Islam said the AL leader was freed in the afternoon from the city's LabAid Hospital where he was receiving treatment.
The High Court (HC) on July 8 granted bail to Hasnat in four cases filed against him on different charges.
The AL leader was earlier sentenced to total 34 years in jail in the four cases.
Upon four appeals filed by Hasnat against his convictions, the HC bench of Justice MA Wahhab Miah and Justice Abdur Razzak passed the bail orders.
The bail to Hasnat will remain valid until disposal of the appeals.
