BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi declared the programme, which includes a rally, from a media briefing at its Naya Paltan headquarters on Sunday.
The BNP will hold an hour-long (11am-12pm) human chain protest on Mar 6, and take position on Mar 8, he said. He did not specify the exact location. The venue in Dhaka will be announced later.
A Dhaka court on Feb 8 sentenced Khaleda to five years in jail in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
The BNP has organised four rounds of protests following the verdict, including rallies, human-chains, a hunger strike, a petition campaign, the submission of memoranda and the display of black flags.
Rizvi claimed that BNP Joint Secretary General Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal has been kept in a small `solitary cell’ in the Kashimpur court building that is used for death-row convicts.
“Alal is kept alone and has experienced panic and mental anguish.”
Law enforcers detained BNP standing committee member Alal on Feb 24 in possession of a black flag to protest the authorities’ decision to allow the BNP to hold a party rally.
Rizvi alleged that BNP leaders were treated cruelly both in and out of jail under the rule of the current government.
