Ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina will have no opportunity to appeal against her death sentence, Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman has said.
The government has completed all legal procedures to bring her back from India, and the remaining decision now rests with the Indian government, he said.
The law minister made the remarks at an event at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre today (14 November).
“Sheikh Hasina will not have the opportunity to appeal against the death sentence. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman himself enacted the law in this regard,” he said.
The minister also said the investigation agency and the prosecution would soon begin investigations into crimes against humanity across districts in Bangladesh. The government would provide all necessary assistance to facilitate the investigations, he added.
Speaking about the land registration sector, Asaduzzaman said public perception of sub-registrars was negative and urged them to take steps to change that image.
He said the sub-registrar department would be made free of harassment, warning that the government would follow a “zero-tolerance” policy if harassment continued.
