The Bangladesh government has stated it will implement the court’s final verdict regarding Sheikh Hasina, who has been sentenced to death for genocide and crimes against humanity. Information Adviser Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman said that if India hands over Sheikh Hasina to Bangladesh, she will receive legal protection. He made the remarks at a press conference at the Department of Information in Dhaka on Tuesday afternoon, attended by Information Minister Zahir Uddin Swapan and Chief Information Officer Syed Abdal Ahmad.

The information minister said Sheikh Hasina’s downfall occurred during the July mass uprising due to her alleged oppressive and fascist actions. He emphasized that the current government aims to establish justice for all and will allow the law to proceed independently. The minister added that no extrajudicial actions will be taken for political reasons, contrasting this with the previous Awami League government.

Officials reiterated that the government’s approach will be guided strictly by the court’s decisions, ensuring due legal process if Sheikh Hasina is returned to Bangladesh.
