Bangladesh writes to India seeking Hasina's return after death sentence: 'Providing refuge would be...'
BAngladesh's strange ministry has written to republic of india, seeking the handing o'er of former ground government minister and “fugitive accused” Sheikh Hasina citing a tribunal's death sentence to the Awami League leader.In a letter to the Indian authorities, the Bangladesh ministry cited an extradition agreement between the two countries and said it was an “obligatory responsibility” for India to facilitate Hasina's return.Follow live updates on the Bangladesh tribunal's verdict on Sheikh Hasina here."Providing refuge to these individuals, who have been convicted of crimes against humanity, by any other country would be a highly unfriendly act and a disregard for justice,” the letter from the foreign ministry of Bangladesh read.The ministry was referring to the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) observations from earlier today, finding Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal guilty on multiple counts over a crackdown on students in Bangladesh last year.Apart from Hasina and Khan, former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun was also found guilty of committing "crimes against humanity".Sheikh Hasina's exile to IndiaFormer PM Sheikh Hasina was ousted from Bangladesh following a mass uprising by students against the erstwhile government. Massive protests rocked the country in July last year, which eventually brought down her government and led to her ouster in August.Ever since, Hasina has been in self-exile in India. According to her son Sajeeb Wazed, Hasina is at a secret safe house in Delhi, where India is providing her full security.“I must add that I am deeply grateful to the Indian people for providing me with a safe haven this past year,” Hasina earlier wrote in emailed responses to HT.The 78-year-old leader had even defied orders from the Bangladesh court, which had ordered her return from India to attend her trial about whether she ordered a deadly crackdown against a student-led uprising last year that eventually ousted her.
