"Following the court ruling, Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that India had an obligatory responsibility under a bilateral extradition treaty signed in 2013 to facilitate the former leader's return. The ministry said keeping Hasina is a grave act of unfriendly behaviour, and called it a travesty of justice for any other country to grant asylum to these individuals convicted of crimes against humanity."
"Bangladesh has again asked India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was recently sentenced to death in absentia over last year's deadly crackdown against a student-led uprising. Touhid Hossain, who holds the foreign affairs portfolio in Bangladesh's interim administration, on Sunday said Dhaka had sent a letter two days ago, urging New Delhi to hand over the fugitive ex-leader."
Bangladesh has repeated a formal request for India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after her in‑absentia death sentence over last year’s deadly crackdown on a student‑led uprising. Touhid Hossain said Dhaka sent a letter urging New Delhi to hand over the fugitive ex‑leader. Hasina, 78, has been hiding in India after serving 15 years as prime minister until an August 2024 mass uprising that, according to the United Nations, killed more than 1,400 people. A special International Crimes Tribunal convicted Hasina of crimes against humanity and sentenced her to death. Bangladesh invoked a 2013 extradition treaty and called sheltering Hasina a grave unfriendly act; India noted the verdict but has not commented on extradition requests, which Prothom Alo says have been made at least three times.
