Bangladesh’s Supreme Court on Wednesday acquitted former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in the latest corruption case against her, paving the way for her to contest the upcoming elections.

Zia had travelled to London earlier this month for medical treatment after being acquitted in another corruption case filed against her during the rule of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was ousted in an uprising last August that ended her 15-year rule.

The five-member Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned a 2018 verdict that sentenced Zia to 10 years in prison for embezzling $250,000 in donations meant for an orphan fund.

Khaleda Zia, 79, was Bangladesh’s prime minister from 1991 to 1996 and 2001 to 2006, the first woman in the country’s history to hold the post and the second Muslim woman in the world to lead a democratic government after Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan.
