The government sees no legal complications in bringing former prime minister Sheikh Hasina back from India and will pursue her extradition through the existing treaty and legal procedures, Prime Minister’s Information and Broadcasting Adviser Dr Zahed Ur Rahman said on Tuesday (November 10).
Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat, he said Hasina, who has been convicted of crimes against humanity by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), would be brought back to face justice through formal legal channels.
The adviser said the government had already formally requested her handover from India under the existing extradition treaty between the two countries.
He added that Hasina had not personally applied for a passport, despite a law firm sending a letter to Delhi regarding the matter.
Regarding the ICT verdict, he said the short verdict was already effective, while publication of the full judgment was part of the regular legal process.
He reiterated that the government would follow proper legal procedures to bring Hasina back rather than adopting any irregular means.
