Tue Nov 12 15:40:54 UTC 2024: ## Bangladesh Tribunal Seeks Interpol Red Notice for Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
**DHAKA, Bangladesh -** A special tribunal in Bangladesh has requested an Interpol red notice for the arrest of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India in August following a mass uprising that ended her 15-year rule. The tribunal alleges Hasina is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of protesters during the unrest.
The request comes as the interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has vowed to bring Hasina to justice. The government has also pledged to seek her extradition from India.
Prosecutor B.M. Sultan Mahmud stated that the tribunal has contacted Interpol through the Bangladesh police, seeking assistance in arresting Hasina and her associates.
This development marks a significant escalation in the political turmoil in Bangladesh, following the dramatic overthrow of Hasina’s government. The tribunal, which was reconstituted by the interim government, is now tasked with investigating potential crimes against humanity committed during the protests.
