International Crimes Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam has described ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s demand for a new passport and national identity card (NID) as a political “stunt”, saying she will not return to Bangladesh.
“Whatever Sheikh Hasina is doing now is a political stunt. She will not come back,” he told reporters at his office at the tribunal today (9 November).
He also said a formal press conference will be held tomorrow to provide details about Hasina’s reported willingness to surrender.
Earlier today, Reuters reported that Hasina has applied for a new passport and NID. Her lawyers have sent a letter to the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi regarding the matter.
Hasina was sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal in November last year over allegations that she ordered a deadly crackdown during the July Uprising.
She fled Bangladesh following the uprising and is currently staying in neighbouring India.
The government has said on several occasions that it has sent multiple letters to India seeking her extradition under the bilateral extradition treaty.
