Extradite Hasina: B'desh

Bangladesh has officially requested India to send back former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India on August 5 after a student-led movement ousted her from power.

- 

The request was made through a "note verbale" to the Indian government, Bangladesh's Interim government's Foreign Affairs Adviser, Touhid Hossain said, according to local media reports.

"We have sent a note verbale to India requesting to send Sheikh Hasina back," Touhid Hossain told reporters.

On August 5, a student-led movement ousted Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people. Hasina, 76, fled to India and an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was formed.

Earlier on December 9, Sheikh Hasina accused the Chief Adviser to Bangladesh’s interim government, Muhammad Yunus, of being the “mastermind” behind the student protests that led to her ouster, while further alleging that the protest was “meticulously designed” to overthrow her government.
