The Bangladesh government is preparing to seek Interpol’s help to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal from India. Both leaders were sentenced to death in absentia by the International Crimes Tribunal for alleged crimes during the student protests in July 2024. The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has already asked India to send them back. Bangladesh’s Chief Prosecutor’s Office is drafting the formal request, which will be sent to New Delhi soon. Hasina has been living in India since she fled Bangladesh on August 5, 2024 after mass protests. (PC: HT)
