Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Acting General Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, has been released from imprisonment.

The British Government will not be raising this specific case with the Bangladesh Government. We will continue to raise the importance of the judiciary and law enforcement being impartial during meetings with the Bangladesh Government, including when I visit this month.
