Bangladesh Seeks Interpol's Help for Sheikh Hasina's Extradition
Bangladesh wants to bring back its former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, from India using Interpol's help.
She was recently sentenced to death for her role in suppressing student protests.
The government is worried about security, especially for judges, after some violent incidents.
People are protesting the death sentence, but the government is proceeding with its plans to extradite Hasina.
Bangladesh is seeking Interpol's help to extradite ousted PM Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
Hasina was sentenced to death in absentia for 'crimes against humanity' related to student protests in 2023.
The government is drafting an application to send to India and may send a letter within a few days.
Bangladesh High Court ordered a review of security measures for courts and judges due to recent violence.
Awami League called for nationwide demonstrations against the death sentence, but security forces maintained vigilance.
