Interim govt to seek Interpol support to bring back Hasina

Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul on Sunday said they will seek Interpol's assistance in repatriating deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other fugitives to face trial for alleged crimes against humanity.

"A red notice will be issued through Interpol very soon. No matter where these fugitive fascists are hiding, they will be brought back and be held accountable," he told reporters after inspecting renovation work at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT).

Mr Asif Nazrul further said that the interim government is not taking the complaint filed by the Awami League at the International Criminal Court (ICC) into account.

Awami League lodged the complaint against the interim government to taint the image of the country, said the adviser, adding that there is no reason to accept the complaint any way.

Hasina and her party leaders face accusations of ordering a violent crackdown on the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, resulting in heavy casualties during the July-August uprising. She was forced to secretly flee to India on August 5.
