Is going abroad really an option for Khaleda?

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has been admitted to Evercare Hospital Dhaka again from November 13 due to various health complications including rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney issues. BNP demands, with hunger strikes and processions, that the 76-year-old former prime minister should be allowed to leave the country for medical treatment. On the other hand, the government is saying that since Khaleda Zia is a convicted individual, going abroad is not an option legally.

How critical is Khaleda Zia's condition? Does she really need to go abroad? How lawful is the request?
