The chief prosecutor of Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal announced that steps are being taken to extradite ousted leader Sheikh Hasina from India to face trial for her role in overseeing massacres during a recent uprising.
As the main perpetrator has fled the country, ICT's chief prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam emphasized that the legal procedure to bring Hasina back to Bangladesh will begin, citing her extensive record of human rights abuses throughout her 15-year reign.
Following Hasina's flight to India by military helicopter amid escalating protests, relations between Bangladesh and India are strained, with potential diplomatic disputes on the horizon as Bangladesh seeks her extradition.
The International Crimes Tribunal was established by Hasina in 2010 to investigate atrocities committed during Bangladesh's 1971 war for independence, yet she is now facing severe accusations herself after a deadly crackdown on protests against her government.
