Major General (Retd.) A N M Muniruzzaman, president of the Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS), stated that India is legally obliged to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh under the existing bilateral extradition treaty. Speaking at a Bay of Bengal Conversation session in Dhaka, he emphasized that as a friendly neighbor, India should respect Bangladesh’s legal process and return Hasina without delay. Muniruzzaman argued that adherence to international norms and mutual respect for legal systems should guide India’s actions. His comments come after Bangladesh formally requested India to hand over Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, both sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal for crimes against humanity during last year’s uprising. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka warned that sheltering convicted individuals would be considered an unfriendly act and contrary to justice. India has acknowledged receiving Bangladesh’s communication, but the extradition request remains unresolved.
