Jamaat-e-Islami central working committee member and Supreme Court lawyer Shishir Monir has said that former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed could be brought back to Bangladesh from the United Arab Emirates if strong legal documentation, accurate information, and high-level diplomatic efforts are ensured. He made the observation in a Facebook post titled 'Legal and Diplomatic Process to Bring Benazir Ahmed Back to Bangladesh: A Summary' published on Monday.
According to Monir, although Bangladesh and the UAE do not have a bilateral extradition treaty, two agreements signed in 2014 on security cooperation and transfer of sentenced prisoners provide a legal basis for judicial collaboration. He cited the Extradition Act of 1974, which allows the government to pursue extradition through legal channels even without a formal treaty. He detailed that Bangladesh must submit a formal extradition request within 30 days of arrest, supported by arrest warrants, case documents, and evidence.
Monir noted that UAE courts would assess dual criminality, political motivation, and fairness of trial before approval. He referenced a past successful extradition from Dubai and concluded that Benazir’s return depends on flawless documentation, verified case details, and sustained diplomatic engagement.
