The Bangladesh High Court has granted bail to the detained former prime minister, Begum Khaleda Zia, clearing the way for her release after 12 months behind bars.
She was bailed on the remaining two of four corruption charges, brought after her arrest in September 2007 by the army-backed interim government.
Her lawyers say she would leave jail soon.
