International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam announced today that the Bangladeshi government has initiated the legal process to extradite Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister who was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. Hasina fled to India following her ousting in the July 2024 Mass Uprising. The government has officially requested the Indian authorities for her extradition as part of the legal proceedings.

Sheikh Hasina was removed from power during the July 2024 Mass Uprising, a significant political event that led to widespread changes in Bangladesh's political landscape. Following her ousting, she sought refuge in India. The International Crimes Tribunal subsequently sentenced her to death for her role in the events leading up to and during the uprising.

Extradition is a formal process where one country requests another to return a fugitive or a person convicted of a crime. This process is governed by bilateral treaties and international law. In this case, Bangladesh is seeking India's cooperation to bring Sheikh Hasina back to face the consequences of her sentencing.
