Dhaka: Bangladesh\u2019s interim government has sent an official letter to India seeking the extradition of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina after a special tribunal sentenced her to death.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the letter was sent the day before yesterday, Foreign Affairs Adviser Mohammad Touhid Hossain was quoted as saying by the state-run BSS news agency.<\/p>\n

Citing an official source at the foreign ministry, the agency said that official diplomatic letter was sent through the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

On Nov 17, the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) sentenced 78-year-old Hasina to death along with then home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on charges of committing \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d after their trial in absentia. Hasina is currently in India. Kamal is believed to be hiding in India.<\/p>\n

Hasina\u2019s Awami League government was toppled in a student-led protest termed as the \u2018July Uprising\u2019 on August 5 last year.<\/p>\n

Hasina and the two others were accused of adopting brutal means to tame the protesters, while a UN rights office report said about 1,400 people were killed between July 15 and August 15 last year.<\/p>\n

The interim government in December last year sent a diplomatic note verbal seeking Hasina\u2019s extradition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
