The Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi is accredited to Bangladesh and has followed developments in this case, in consultation with the EU Delegation in Dhaka.

According to latest information, Mrs. Zia, who has legal representation, had been released from prison for home detention and is currently receiving medical attention in a hospital in Dhaka. 

We will continue to follow developments in relation to this matter through our Embassy.  I take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to Mrs. Zia for a full and speedy recovery.
