New Delhi: The issue of extradition is a bilateral process and hoped that states will cooperate and support each other towards ensuring accountability, top UN officials have said amid efforts by Bangladesh’s interim government to bring ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina back from India.
Hasina, the Amami League leader, resigned and escaped to India on August 5 after anti-discrimination protests against the quota system turned into a movement and ousted her 16-year regime from power.
Bangladesh’s 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”.
