Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, who is also the chair of Bangladesh's Nationalist Party or BNP, was released on bail on Thursday after more than 12 months in detention.
Zia ruled the country twice and was arrested last September amid a purge against crime and corruption by the current caretaker government.
The BNP, one of two major parties in the country, demanded the party join political dialogue with the government. They said they would take part in the upcoming general election only after Zia is freed. The country's Election Commission says the general election will be held in December.
