On January 15, 2025, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh acquitted former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, her son Tarique Rahman, and others in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. The court overturned previous convictions and a 10-year prison sentence, describing the case as a malicious prosecution. Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed noted the trial was flawed, emphasizing the vindictive nature of the proceedings.
