[🇧🇩] Extradition of Hasina, Awami Leaders/Beneficiaries and Related News.

[Bilal9]

Bangladesh cancelled Hasina's passport, so India extending her visa is pointless.

Indians are now granting her citizenship presumably.

The only hitch is - her returning to Bangladesh door is closed, being a citizen of India.

She is a wanted criminal for murders and other human rights violations - per Interpol standards.

Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman on Wednesday demanded bringing back deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina to face justice for the ‘crimes she committed’.

‘Dictator Sheikh Hasina, who left power in the mass uprising and fled abroad, must be brought back to the country quickly to face justice. She cannot be spared by any means,’ he said while virtually addressing a rally.

Amra BNP Paribar organised the rally at Sonagazi Mohammad Saber Pilot Government High School ground in Feni to provide housing to family of Mohammad Masud, who was killed in a RAB firing on June 25, 2016, and financial assistance to the families of 45 July uprising martyrs in Feni, Noakhali and Lakshmipur.

Tarique Rahman said that Awami League government killed 2,000 people in the July-August uprising alone while thousands of students and the people were injured.

In addition, thousands of BNP leaders and activists were tortured by the party in the past 16 years, he added.

‘When the autocratic government seized power with the barrel of gun, only BNP wanted reforms. Everyone must work together to form a people’s government through elections and build a new Bangladesh,’ he said.

Remembering the founder of the BNP Ziaur Rahman, Tarique Rahman said that Ziaur Rahman increased agricultural production in the country through the canal digging programme.

Ziaur Rahman provided employment to the people by establishing factories while BNP chief former prime minister Khaleda Zia made a lot of efforts to move the country forward, he noted.

‘Whenever BNP comes to power, the country moves forward. In that continuity, we announced 31-point outline for repairing the state structure two and a half years ago to take the country forward anew,’ he said.

‘In future, if there is a people’s government through elections; the dignity of the martyrs who sacrificed themselves will be established and the expectations of the people will be fulfilled by implementing the 31 points,’ he said.

Urging party men to remain vigilant, he said that some opportunists may conspire to tarnish the image of the party, so they cannot be given a chance under any circumstances.

He said that BNP would continue its movement and struggle until a people’s government was established.

‘The sooner the people’s government is established, the sooner it will be able to take the country on the path of prosperity,’ he said.

BNP acting chairman called upon democratic parties and people to be united in establishing a people’s government.

Tarique Rahman also inaugurated a house built for the family of Masud, the former joint convener of the Upazila Juba Dal, who was allegedly a victim of extrajudicial killing in Sonagazi.

The leaders present at the event handed over the keys of the house to Masud’s family.

Masud’s daughter Muntaha broke down in tears while giving a speech expressing her feelings.

Muntaha demanded capital punishment of the then Charchandia UP chairman and joint secretary of the Upazila Awami League, Mosharraf Hossain Milon, accusing him of his involvement in the Masud murder.

BNP vice-chairmen Abdul Awal Mintoo and Barkat Ullah Bulu, senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed, Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, chairperson’s advisers Joynal Abedin and Zainul Abdin Farroque and Chattogram divisional organising secretary Mahbubur Rahman Shamim, among others, spoke as special guests at the meeting.

Atiqur Rahman Rumon, convener of Amra BNP Paribar, presided over the rally.​

No response given to Bangladesh over Hasina's extradition: Indian state minister

Kirti Vardhan Singh

India today said it has not conveyed any response to Bangladesh on the latter's request for extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina for her alleged crimes committed before she fled to India last year.

"The government of Bangladesh has sought the extradition of former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina for offences allegedly committed before she came to India on 5th August 2024. No response has been conveyed to the government of Bangladesh," State Minister of Indian External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said while replying to a question posed by CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP from Kerala John Brittas.

Bangladesh has sued Hasina and her kin in court, accusing them of graft, mass murder and also demanded her extradition while accusing her of inciting unrest through her statements from New Delhi. The Yunus-led government has also accused her of enforced disappearances.

Referring to the demolition of 32 Dhanmondi residence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor told ANI, "It is tragic that these things are happening. Obviously Bangladesh can turn around and say these are our internal affairs and that it's none of your business and I accept that.

"But having said that, it's also true there are some decencies we would like to see in our neighbours. And this was a gentleman (Bangabandhu) with an enormous contribution to Bangladeshi history, which cannot be wished away whether you disagree with him or his party or his daughter politically. It is truly I think shameful that such a thing has happened," Tharoor said.

He also said, "India as a foreign country can only express its own regret that it has happened. But it has no business to complain to Bangladesh because it is genuinely not our business."​

India’s Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh has confirmed that Bangladesh has requested the extradition of its ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina for trial, but India has yet to decide on the matter.

Responding to a written question during Thursday’s session from John Brittas, member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's parliament, Singh disclosed the information, reports bdnews24.com.

Brittas, also managing director of Kairail TV and Kairail News, inquired whether the Bangladesh government had formally requested Hasina’s return, the reasons cited for the request, and whether India had communicated any response to Dhaka.

In his reply, Singh said Bangladesh had indeed sought Hasina’s extradition, citing alleged “crimes” committed before she left the country. However, India has yet to convey any decision to Bangladesh.

The Awami League President Hasina fled to India on Aug 5, 2024 amid mass protests and has remained there since.

While several senior leaders of her party have been arrested, most remain in hiding.

The interim government has initiated proceedings against Hasina and others at the International Crimes Tribunal, labelling the Awami League government's crackdown on student protests as "genocide".

More than 50 allegations of "genocide and crimes against humanity" between Jul 5 and Aug 5 during the student-led mass protests have been filed with the tribunal’s investigative and prosecution offices.

In one case, an arrest warrant has been issued for Hasina, while another case has led to warrants against 45 individuals, including her family members and senior Awami League leaders.

Amid ongoing trials in nearly 300 cases against Hasina, the interim government formally requested her extradition under the extradition treaty, sending a diplomatic note to the Indian government on Dec 23.

At the time, Indian media reports suggested that India was reluctant to extradite Hasina, indicating that New Delhi might take months to respond to Dhaka’s request.​

Dhaka would continue to wait for New Delhi’s response to its request for the extradition of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina who fled to India for shelter on August 5, 2024 amid a student-led mass uprising.

‘We have sent all necessary documents with the letter requesting the Indian government to extradite former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, but have not yet received any response from New Delhi,’ foreign ministry spokesperson Mohammad Rafiqul Alam told the weekly media briefing at the foreign ministry on Thursday.

Responding to a query, he said that they would continue to wait for India’s response in this regard.

Asked whether they would give a reminder, Rafiqul, also director general of the public diplomacy wing, said it depended on the decision of the political leadership.

‘A reminder will be given when the political leadership thinks it is the right time,’ he said adding that the extradition was a diplomatic process as well as a political decision as there was an extradition treaty between the two neighbouring countries.

Earlier in December, he said that Dhaka would wait for a reasonable time for New Delhi’s response.

On December 23, 2024, the foreign ministry sent a note verbale to its Indian counterpart, requesting the extradition of Sheikh Hasina who is facing an International Crimes Tribunal warrant for her arrest on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity during the July-August mass uprising along with scores of murder cases.

Amid rising demands for extradition of the ousted prime minister for trial, the foreign ministry requested its Indian counterpart to send her back.

Hasina, also the Awami League president, has been staying in India since the mass uprising ousting her 15-year autocratic regime on August 5, leading to the formation of the interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus on August 8.​

Bangladesh has sent necessary documents to India to bring back former prime minister Sheikh Hasina under the existing extradition treaty.

Rafiqul Alam, spokesperson of the foreign affairs ministry, made the disclosure in a weekly briefing at the ministry on Thursday.

Sheikh Hasina fled to India after being ousted from power on 5 August. The interim government now seeks to bring her back to face trial over the killings in July and August.

In this regard, the spokesperson said necessary documents were sent to New Delhi from Dhaka. Now, the government will wait for diplomatic and political response over the issue.

He further noted that it is up to the government’s high level to decide if the international process will be followed to extradite other Awami League leaders currently staying in India.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson welcomed the UN fact-finding mission’s report, saying it would shake the conscience of any person. He expressed hope that neighbouring India would consider the report and cooperate with Bangladesh on the issue.​

Bringing Hasina to justice top priority: Shafiqul

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam yesterday said bringing Sheikh Hasina back to Bangladesh and putting her on trial in person is the government's top priority.

"We want to bring her back and put her on trial in person. The people of Bangladesh want to see her trial. Bringing her to justice is our top priority," he said in response to a question whether her trial would be held in absentia.

Speaking at a briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital, Shafiqul Alam said Hasina has been accused of committing crimes against humanity in the recently published UN rights report.

"A huge pressure is being created [on India to extradite Sheikh Hasina] following the UN report and other reports from some human rights groups," he said.

Referring to a recent survey conducted by India Today, the press secretary said 55 percent of Indians support Sheikh Hasina's extradition to Bangladesh, a certain percentage want her sent to a third country and only 16-17 percent of Indians want she should be allowed to stay in India.

Shafiqul also said the interim government will form a high-powered committee soon to investigate and prepare a white paper on corruption and irregularities in the ICT sector during the Awami League regime. "This committee will present a white paper within two months," he said.

He said the media ran many reports over a huge corruption and irregularities took place in the ICT ministry and the name of digitalisation and Digital Bangladesh.

Sheikh Hasina and Tulip Siddiq

The Anti-Corruption Commission has started the process to bring back deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her niece Tulip Siddiq, said its commissioner Brigadier General, retd, Hafiz Ahsan Farid on Tuesday.

‘We have started the work. The ACC has started the process of bringing them back,’ he said while talking to reporters at the ACC office in Segunbagicha in Dhaka.

After the interim government took office, several cases were filed against Sheikh Hasina and her family members on charges of murder, enforced disappearances, corruption, fraud and abuse of power.

The ACC filed six cases against Sheikh Hasina and her family members on charges of abusing power and forgery in obtaining 60 katha plots of 10 katha each in a RAJUK housing project.

When asked about bringing former UK minister Tulip Siddiq back to the country, Hafiz Ahsan said, ‘We have sent documents from here to the home ministry which is called a Mutual Legal Assistance Request (MLAR).’

‘It will go to the foreign embassy through the foreign affairs ministry. From there it will go to the Bangladesh embassy. We have started that work. The ACC has started the process of bringing them back,’ he added.

Regarding the return of Tulip Siddiq, he said he could not tell about the legal process of how to bring her back to the country.

‘A case has been filed against her as a Bangladeshi citizen,’ he said.

Mentioning Tulip as a Bangladeshi NID and passport holder, he added, ‘The letters given to her have been sent to her Bangladeshi address. We do not consider her a foreign citizen. When the case was filed she was staying abroad. Initiatives will be taken to bring her back.’

‘We are at the stage of agreements with various international anti-corruption agencies. We will get help from them once the deal is done,’ he said.​

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has said it will move to issue arrest warrants through Interpol to bring back to Bangladesh deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and seven members of her family accused in a corruption case over land allocation.

They face charges involving the allocation of plots in the Purbachal project of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK), according to bdnews24.com.

In addition to Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, sister Sheikh Rehana, nephew Radwan Mujib Siddique, nieces Tulip Siddique and Azmina Siddique Ruponti are among the accused.

The court has already permitted the issuance of an Interpol arrest warrant for Putul, and officials said appeals will be filed against the others soon.

ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain told bdnews24.com, “Within the legal framework, investigating officers have full freedom to issue red alerts, arrest warrants, or take other legal action against anyone found to be involved in an investigation.”

Six cases were filed against Hasina and her family members in January on charges of obtaining plots in the Purbachal New Town project of RAJUK through “abuse of power and irregularities”.

The anti-graft agency is also submitting charge sheets in those cases.

The Awami League’s 15-year rule ended on Aug 5, 2024, following a

mass uprising led by students and the public.

After stepping down as prime minister, Hasina fled to India, where she has remained since.

Putul currently serves as the regional director of the World Health Organization’s South-East Asia Regional Office (WHO SEARO) and is in India for her duties, while Joy has been living in the US for many years.

When Hasina fled to India, there were reports that her sister Rehana accompanied her, but there has been no confirmation of her current whereabouts.

Rehana’s children are British citizens—Tulip is a British MP, Ruponti also lives in London, and Radwan, who was in Dhaka before the uprising, is believed to have left the country.

Arrest warrants have been issued in multiple of the six cases filed against them.

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has also issued a warrant against Hasina on charges including genocide and enforced disappearance.

Bangladesh has requested India to return Hasina under the existing extradition treaty, but there has been no official response.

Following the fall of the Awami League government, the ACC launched an investigation on Dec 26, 2024, into alleged irregularities in the allocation of six plots in the Purbachal New Town project registered in the names of Hasina and five family members.

The 0.02-hectare plots were allocated in the names of Hasina, Joy, Putul, Rehana, Bobby, and Ruponti in the area around Road No. 203 in the diplomatic zone of Sector No. 27 of the Purbachal New Town project.​

Hasina's extradition request to be followed up: Foreign Adviser

UNB
Published: 03 Jul 2025, 21: 11

Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Thursday said the government would continue to pursue the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, currently reported to be in India since August 5 last year.

"I don't know who regrets how much, but we see the matter this way - if necessary, the matter will be followed up," he told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when a reporter asked whether there was any regret over the government's failure to bring Hasina back nearly a year after the formal request.

Bangladesh had sent a diplomatic note (note verbale) to India in December last year, along with a set of supporting documents, formally requesting Hasina's extradition.

On the issue of water-sharing agreements, including the pending Teesta deal and the renewal of the 30-year-old Ganges Water Sharing Treaty - set to expire next year - Hossain stressed that such matters need to be resolved through bilateral discussions.

Regarding media reports suggesting that a recent meeting between Dhaka, Beijing and Islamabad was intended as an alternative alliance to SAARC, Adviser Hossain clarified that this interpretation was inaccurate.

The meeting never seemed to be an alternative to Saarc, he said, adding that it was a meeting to discuss some areas of cooperation and it was no way an alliance.​

Ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League will not be allowed in Bangladesh for their involvement in committing massacres during the 2024 July uprising, said National Citizen Party convener Nahid Islam in Chuadanga on Wednesday.Bangladesh-themed souvenirs

During the party’s ongoing programme marking the first anniversary of the uprising in Chuadanga, Nahid, referring to a recently published BBC documentary, said, ‘Sheikh Hasina gave orders to open fire. She also asked using lethal weapons. Hasina and her party Awami League were responsible for the killings.’

‘Hasina and the Awami League will not be allowed in Bangladesh,’said Nahid while addressing a brief rally at Boro Bazar, Chuadanga town on the ninth day of the party’s countrywide rally.

Nahid, also a former central leader of Students Against Discrimination that spearheaded the July uprising to oust the Awami League regime on August 5, 2024, stated that the Hasina-led government carried out killings and enforced disappearances in the country with the direct and indirect support of Indian government.Bangladesh-themed souvenirs

The Hasina-led regime fell through a mass uprising and the Indian government is providing shelter to her and her party leaders in India, said the NCP leader, urging people to support the NCP to initiate pro-Bangladesh politics in the country.

The NCP began the march on July 1 from Rangpur by offering prayers for uprising martyr Abu Sayed as part of its July 1- August 5 countrywide programme to mark the first anniversary of the uprising.

A group of student and youth leaders who led the uprising formed the NCP on February 28.

Nahid also spoke about the Indian aggression, including fair share of water from the transboundary rivers, and border killing issues.

He also told the people to say ‘no’ to the corrupt and extortionists.

‘Boycott those who support the extortionists and the corrupt. The NCP will be with you,’ said Nahid.

On the ninth day of the party’s countrywide programme, NCP leaders and activists, including the party’s member secretary Akhter Hossain, chief organiser for North Sarjis Alam, chief organiser for South Hasnat Abdullah, and chief coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, among others, participated in the marches and rallies in Chuadanga and Jhenaidah districts.

The NCP is scheduled to hold marches in all districts till July 30, demanding trial of the Awami League and its leaders for the massacres during the mass uprising, reforms in various sectors, and a new constitution aiming at building a discrimination-free Bangladesh.

The party leaders and activists will hold marches and rallies in Magura and Narail districts today.​
