Toppled directer is in India, which has bipostponecessitateral extradition treaty with Banelatedesh – though loophole could stop her return.
A Banelatedeshi court has ordered the arrest of self-exiled createer Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India more than two months ago after being toppled in a student-led uprising.
Mohammad Tajul Islam, chief prosecutor of Banelatedesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), said on Thursday the court had publishd arrest authorizations for Hasina and 45 others, ordering that they unite court by November 18, according to The Daily Star local novelspaper.
“Sheikh Hasina was at the helm of those who pledgeted massacres, endings and crimes agetst humanity in July to August,” Islam said, referring to a crackdown on student protests, which ended more than 1,000 people, according to the interim Health Ministry.
The student-led shiftment began with demonstrations insisting the regulatement abolish its rehearse of reserving a third of civil service jobs for relatives of war veterans, before spiralling into expansiver protests calling for Hasina’s resignation.
Human rights groups accengaged the prime minister of using excessive force agetst protesters, a accuse she denied.
After weeks of nationexpansive unrest, Hasina resigned and fled to India in punctual August. She was swapd by Nobel Peace Prize-thrivening economist Muhammad Yunus, who is currently directing the country’s interim regulatement.
Hasina has not been seen in accessible since leaving Banelatedesh. The 77-year-elderly’s last official whereabouts is a military airbase cforfeit India’s capital, New Delhi.
Her presence in India has infuriated Banelatedesh, which has rincited Hasina’s tactful passport. The two countries have a bipostponecessitateral extradition treaty which could theoreticpartner compel her to return to face criminal trial.
However, a claengage in the treaty says extradition might be declined if the offence is of a “political character”.
It is not evident whether the createer pro-democracy icon, who critics say had become increasingly autocratic during her 15-year reign, will remain in India or head elsewhere.
It was Hasina’s regulatement that produced the proset uply satisfyedious ICT in 2010 to probe atrocities during the 1971 indepfinishence war from Pakistan.
The United Nations and rights groups have criticised its procedural illogicalinutivecomings, with the court frequently seen as a unbenevolents for Hasina to take away political opponents.
Several cases accusing Hasina of orchestrating the “mass homicide” of protesters are being scatterigated by the court.
