The interim government of Bangladesh is continuously trying to capture the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Now the news is that the interim government of Bangladesh will take the help of Interpol to capture Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Hasina is living in India after leaving Bangladesh.
Help will be sought from Interpol.
Bangladesh's interim government on Sunday said it will seek Interpol's help to bring back ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other "fugitives" from India so that they can all be prosecuted for alleged crimes against humanity. Hasina and her party leaders are accused of ordering a brutal suppression of the anti-government student movement. Several people died during the protests from July to August. Later this movement turned into a large-scale rebellion, due to which Hasina had to secretly flee to India on August 5.
What are the allegations against Sheikh Hasina?
According to the interim government led by Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus, at least 753 people were killed and thousands injured during the protests. Yunus described the incident as a crime against humanity and genocide. By mid-October, more than 60 complaints of crimes against humanity and genocide were filed against Hasina and her party leaders. "A red notice will be issued through Interpol very soon. These fugitive fascists will be brought back and held accountable in court, no matter where they are hiding in the world," legal affairs advisor Asif Najrul told reporters after inspecting the renovation work at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) here.
What can Interpol do?
The ICT is located in the Old High Court Building in the Supreme Court Complex. Officials said a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant but a global request to law enforcement agencies to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action. Interpol member countries enforce Red Notices by their national laws.
