Dhaka: Detained former Bangladesh Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina has been taken to a hospital in the capital Dhaka for treatment, officials said on Tuesday.
"Ex-Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina has been escorted to Square Hospital at Dhanmandi under tight security," a senior prison official said.
Hasina has been held at a building in Dhaka's sprawling parliament compound since her arrest in July last year on corruption allegations.
She is being prosecuted by special courts for extortion and graft charges.
She was treated in hospital last month for eye and ear ailments and high blood pressure. Authorities said then that Hasina could not be admitted at the hospital for security reasons.
