Send Sheikh Hasina back, Bangladesh sends note to India

Bangladesh’s interim government said on Monday that it has sent a diplomatic note to India to send back deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Dhaka.

Hasina, 77, has been living in exile in India since August 5 when she fled the country amid the student-led protests that toppled her 16-year regime. Bangladesh-based International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has



issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet Ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for “crimes against humanity and genocide”.

“We have sent a note verbale to the Indian government saying that Bangladesh wants her back here for the judicial process,” Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain told reporters at his office.
