lodibet Bangladesh Sends Note Verbale To India Seeking Return Of Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina

Bangladesh on Monday sent note verbale or a diplomatic note to India as they sought the return of deposed PM Sheikh Hasina.

On August 5, 2024, when a series of student-led protests across Bangladesh led to the fall of Hasina's 16-year regime, the Prime Minister fled the country and sought refuge in India.

Dhaka-based International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for "crimes against humanity and genocide".

PTI said that Foreign Affairs Adviser or de facto foreign minister Touhid Hossain told reporters at his office, “We have sent a note verbale (diplomatic message) to the Indian government saying that Bangladesh wants her back here for the judicial process."

The first quarter started off on a very strong note for South Korea as they displayed a very attacking brand of hockey. Jihun Yang also converted a penalty corner to give them the lead. 

Earlier in the morning, Home Advisor Jahangir Alam said his office has sent a letter to the foreign ministry to facilitate the ousted premier's extradition from India.

“We have sent a letter to the foreign ministry regarding her extradition. The process is currently underway,” he told reporters in response to a query.

Alam also said an extradition treaty between Dhaka and New Delhi already exists and Hasina could be brought back to Bangladesh under the treaty.lodibet
