Bangladesh plans Sheikh Hasina's extradition to put her on trial for 'mass killings'

“Necessary steps will be taken to bring former prime minister Hasina back under the extradition treaty with India to try her on charges of mass killings during the student-led protests in July and August”, the official was quoted as saying by The Daily Star newspaper.

At a press briefing on the tribunal's premises in Dhaka, Islam said an application will be filed with the ICT, when it resumes functions, to issue arrest warrants against Hasina and all the absconding accused.

"Information, documents and evidence against the accused persons will have to be collected from across the country and those will have to be compiled, examined and placed properly before the tribunal, which is very much challenging and huge task," Islam said.
