The transitional government of Bangladesh has requested India’s authorities to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to stand trial for crimes including genocide and murder. Hasina fled to India amidst violent protests against her rule in August. A warrant for her arrest has been issued, and many of her allies have faced imprisonment since her regime was overthrown. The request has been acknowledged by the Indian government, but it remains uncertain if Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration will comply, given India’s independent legal authority in extradition matters.
