Sahara urges govt high-ups to keep mum on fugitive killers
Wednesday, 2 December 2009
Home Minister Advocate Sahara Khatun has urged members of the government to be careful in commenting on the matter of bringing back Bangabandhu's killers, currently at large in different countries.
"Our initiative to bring back Bangabandhu's killers has not ceased. A 'red alert' has been issued by the Interpol for the fugitive killers," Sahara told reporters at the secretariat Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
But, she went on to say: "Disclosing information about bringing them back to Bangladesh is not right, as they may get the chance to move from country to country to evade capture."
The home minister said the convicts are adopting a technique of "fast changing locations".
Answering to a query, Sahara said: "We must bring them back through mutual agreement with the countries that have no extradition treaties with us."
Law Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed said Monday that Canada had agreed to deport Noor Chowdhury, one of the 12 former army officers convicted and sentenced to death for the 1975 assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members.
