Bangladesh is awaiting India’s response to its latest formal request for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was recently sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal-1 for crimes against humanity during the July–August uprising last year. Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain said on Wednesday that Dhaka does not expect a reply from New Delhi within a week but remains hopeful of receiving one. The request was sent through a note verbale via Bangladesh’s High Commission in New Delhi under the existing extradition treaty between the two countries. The tribunal also sentenced former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death and ex-police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun to five years in prison for aiding the prosecution. Hossain noted that Bangladesh had previously sought Hasina’s return from India without success but emphasized that the current situation differs as the judicial process has concluded and the convictions are final.
