A Chattogram court on Sunday granted bail to Md Mostakim, who was arrested during protests against the recent hike in dialysis fees at Chattogram Medical College and Hospital.

Metropolitan Magistrate Oliullah passed the order when Advocate Zia Habib filed a bail petition in the morning.

Earlier, Bangladesh Human Rights Foundation appointed a lawyer for Mostakim.

Mostakim was arrested during a protest and the court granted his bail until submission of a chargesheet in the case, said Advocate Zia.

The kidney patients and their relatives staged demonstrations in front of the dialysis centre of the hospital for several days, protesting the hike in dialysis fees.

Police arrested Mostakim from the spot and a case was filed against 60 people including Mostakim with Panchlaish police station on charge of attacking police.
