Shafik Rehman bail for three months

Shafik RehmanMNA Editorial Desk: The SC (Supreme Court) has granted journalist Shafik Rehman a conditional bail for three months. He will be capable to stay out of jail for this time by passing on his passport or until police submit the charge sheet in the case he has been accused in.

A five-strong Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha granted Rehman’s appeal against a High Court decision scrapping his bail petition on Wednesday.

Shafik Rehman, prominent Bangladeshi magazine editor, was arrested in Dhaka on suspicion of sedition earlier on April 16.

Police said that he was held after the discovery of evidence linking him to a conspiracy to murder the son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
