Bangladesh making big move for the extradition of Hasina...

Amidst the confrontation with india, the bangladesh government is pushing from all sides for the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. Not only is the Mohammad Yunus government preparing to take legal action and put its demand before india, but it has also brought a legal expert who is demanding the extradition of Sheikh Hasina citing the legal rules of Bangladesh.

Speaking to The Hindu, Mohammad Yunus said that the government will soon officially talk to the indian government for the extradition of the former Prime Minister. However, he has no objection to Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party contesting the elections. On the other hand, law expert Toby Cadman has said that he feels that being a democratic country, india will follow the judicial process of bangladesh and will extradite Sheikh Hasina.

Toby Tadman is an internationally renowned criminal law expert and is also a special adviser to the Chief Prosecutor of the international Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Bangladesh. After meeting ICT Chief Prosecutor Tajul islam and other officials on wednesday (December 11, 2024), he emphadata-sized that it is India's responsibility to maintain the rule of law as it is a democratic country. If bangladesh requests them, they should respect it and send Sheikh Hasina back.

Cadman also told what options bangladesh has if india does not extradite Sheikh Hasina. He said that if india rejects the request after the charges are framed, then bangladesh can resort to international laws to take action in the absence of Sheikh Hasina and forthis it can also take help from the international criminal court (ICC).

After the coup in bangladesh on august 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of prime minister and came to India. Hundreds of cases are registered against her in bangladesh, including murder, attempt to murder, genocide, kidnapping, crimes against humanity and attack on the procession of Bangladesh Nationalist Party. She has been staying in india since August.
