Former prime minister Khaleda Zia will not apply to the government for her release, a lawyer said Tuesday.

After visiting her in special jail, advocates Ahmed Azam Khan and Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas told reporters that Khaleda believed the cases filed against her have no basis and she thinks those cases are bailable.

"[Khaleda Zia] said the government has detained her on unfounded cases. She will not apply for her release," said Azam Khan.

She said there was no substance in the cases filed against her or her two sons, he said.

Khaleda enquired about the health of her detained elder son Tarique Rahman, her lawyers said.

She expressed concern over his health and urged the government to send him abroad as soon as possible, they said.

Advocate Simul Biswas said Khaleda had urged party leaders, supporters and countrymen to remain united.
