Bangladesh Seeks Interpol Red Notice for Sheikh Hasina Over Genocide and Conspiracy Charges

The interim government intensifies efforts to extradite the former prime minister, who fled to India after her regime's collapse in 2024.

Bangladesh seeks Interpol red corner notice against ex-PM Sheikh Hasina

Overview

  • Bangladesh's National Central Bureau has formally requested Interpol to issue a red notice against Sheikh Hasina and 11 others for alleged crimes against humanity and genocide.
  • The charges also include conspiracy to overthrow the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government and inciting civil war.
  • Sheikh Hasina, ousted by mass protests in August 2024, has been residing in India since fleeing Bangladesh following the collapse of her 16-year rule.
  • The request follows months of legal efforts, with the International Crimes Tribunal issuing arrest warrants in late 2024 and urging international intervention.
  • If Interpol approves the red notice, it will enable global law enforcement to locate and detain Hasina pending extradition or further legal action.
