Detained former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been taken to a hospital in the capital Dhaka for treatment, officials said on Tuesday. “Ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been escorted to Square Hospital at Dhanmandi under tight security,” a senior prison official said. Hasina is being prosecuted by special courts for extortion and graft charges. She was treated in hospital last month for eye and ear ailments and high blood pressure. Authorities said then that Hasina could not be admitted at the hospital for security reasons. Her party, the Awami League, said at the time that the ex-PM’s health condition was critical and demanded her treatment abroad as Hasina was unwilling to undergo treatment in any Bangladesh hospital due to security worries.
