The Bangladesh government is set to seek help from the Interpol for the extradition of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, who have been handed death sentences for crimes against humanity.
While the Chief Prosecutor’s Office of the International Crimes Tribunal is preparing an application for the foreign ministry to seek Interpol assistance for extraditing the duo to Bangladesh, the foreign ministry said it is preparing a letter and may send it to New Delhi in a day or two, mentioned a report by The Daily Star.
Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain told Dhaka has not yet sent the letter. “The letter is being prepared. It may be sent today,” the Bangladeshi media outlet quoted Hossain as saying on Tuesday.
In December last year, the foreign ministry wrote to India’s Ministry of External Affairs, seeking to repatriate Hasina, who sought shelter in India in August – following the massive student protests.
