Sheikh Hasina Who Is In India Now Faces Death Sentence And Arrest Question

The International Court of Justice in Bangladesh has convicted Sheikh Hasina and sentenced her to death. The court sentenced Sheikh Hasina and two of her top aides—former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun—to death. Sheikh Hasina is currently in India. The question now arises: how will she be executed while she is in India? Let's understand what will happen next…

The court found Hasina guilty of last year's July uprising. Sheikh Hasina is accused of inciting the firing on unarmed civilians during the July uprising. The court delivered a 453-page verdict in six parts. The court declared Hasina's crimes against humanity.

Convicted of several crimes

The verdict states that Hasina had been poised to become a dictator since January 2024. She crushed the opposition in the January 2024 elections. Subsequently, when students took to the streets, they were fired upon. The court found Hasina guilty of numerous crimes and delivered this significant verdict.

Will Sheikh Hasina be arrested?

Now the question arises: now that Sheikh Hasina has been convicted, what will happen next? In fact, Sheikh Hasina has been in India since the coup. Consequently, India will play a key role in this case. The government will issue an arrest warrant through Interpol to arrest Sheikh Hasina.

Arrest warrant through Interpol

Now, to arrest Sheikh Hasina, the government will issue an arrest warrant through Interpol. Interpol, or International Criminal Police Organization, is the world's largest international police organization. It helps fight transnational crime by uniting the police forces of 194 member countries. Interpol helps police work together, regardless of whether those countries have formal diplomatic relations.

The government will seek Interpol's assistance in apprehending Sheikh Hasina, and Interpol will issue its own international notice (similar to a Red Notice) against Sheikh Hasina. The Bangladesh government will send a request to Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice (similar to an international arrest warrant) against Sheikh Hasina.

Information will be given to India

Sheikh Hasina is currently in India. Therefore, Bangladesh will officially inform India that an Interpol notice has been issued and seek their cooperation so that Hasina can be arrested and extradited to Bangladesh.

India will play an important role

At this juncture, India will play a crucial role in this matter. If, after being informed of the Bangladesh government's warrant, India declares that it will not arrest Hasina or hand her over to Bangladesh, Bangladesh could take the matter to the United Nations (UN). There, they could attempt to exert international pressure on India.
