The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh has issued arrest warrants against Sheikh Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers and officials, accusing them of involvement in 'crimes against humanity and genocide.'
According to Foreign Affairs Advisor Touhid Hossain, a diplomatic note has been sent to India to facilitate Hasina's judicial return. Home Advisor Jahangir Alam confirmed ongoing efforts under existing extradition treaties with New Delhi to secure her return.
Meanwhile, Hasina has accused the interim government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, of genocide and criticised their treatment of minority communities since her absence.
The situation remains tense as diplomatic channels work to address the issue amid ongoing political unrest in Bangladesh.
