The interim government of Bangladesh is committed to bringing back Sheikh Hasina, this step will be taken

Bangladesh's interim government said it would seek Interpol's help to bring back ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other fugitives from India to face trial for alleged crimes against humanity. Hasina and her party leaders are accused of ordering forceful suppression of the student movement against the quota system. Due to this, many people lost their lives during the protests in July-August this year.

This movement later turned into a large-scale mass uprising, forcing Sheikh Hasina to secretly flee to India on 5 August. According to the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus, at least 753 people were killed and thousands injured during the protests. The interim government of Bangladesh has called it a crime against humanity and genocide. As of mid-October, more than 60 complaints of human rights violations and genocide have been filed against Hasina and her party leaders at the International Criminal Tribunal in Bangladesh.

Asif Nazrul, legal affairs advisor to the interim government, told the media that, 'Red Corner Notice will be issued by Interpol soon. Wherever these fascist fugitives are hiding in the world, they will be brought back and held accountable in court. Officials said the Red Corner Notice is not an international arrest warrant, but a global request to law enforcement agencies to locate and temporarily arrest a person pending extradition, surrender or similar legal proceedings.

INTERPOL member countries implement Red Corner Notices in accordance with their national laws. The ICT was formed in March 2010 by the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government to prosecute perpetrators of human rights violations during the 1971 liberation war. Later Hasina government formed ICT-2. Following the verdicts of these two tribunals, at least six leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami and Hasina's arch rival Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party were sentenced to death.
