Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in India since August 2024, faces challenges securing political asylum globally. The UK and US rejected her asylum requests, citing immigration laws and strained relations. Bangladesh’s interim government accuses her of crimes against humanity and plans to involve Interpol. India, initially agreeing to her temporary stay, faces growing pressure from Dhaka to extradite her, risking diplomatic tensions. Hasina’s asylum options include Finland and UAE, but strained ties with the Biden administration limit US prospects. As anti-India sentiment grows in Bangladesh, India’s foreign policy faces a significant test.
