Bangladesh will seek ex-premier Sheikh Hasina’s extradition from India, says Yunus

Firstpost  

Muhammad Yunus said that not only the deaths in the uprising but all other violations of human rights, including alleged enforced disappearances while Hasina was in power, would be investigated. Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus said that the country will seek the extradition of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India, where she has been in exile since August. Yunus has downplayed reports of attacks on minorities, particularly Hindus since Hasina’s ouster, describing them as exaggerated “We will seek the return of the fallen autocrat Sheikh Hasina from India,” Yunus said. Yunus has been talking to political parties including the Bangladesh Nationalist Party headed by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Hasina’s main rival, which has sought an election in two to three months. Yunus also downplayed as “exaggerated” reports of attacks on minorities, especially Hindus, many of whom complained that hard-line Islamists are becoming increasingly influential since Hasina’s ouster.
