Attorny General Urges Hasina To Come Back And Face Trial

Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman today urged former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to return to Bangladesh and face trials.

He stated, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina used to call on her opponents to come to the country and face justice if they had the courage. Now the International Criminal Tribunal issued an arrest warrant against her. I hope Sheikh Hasina will return to the country and face trials for the cases filed against in relation to the killings during the anti-government movement in July and August this year.

He told reporters at the Attorney General's office of the Supreme Court on Sunday, "I think, she (Hasina) believes in the trial proceedings. If she does, it will be good for her,".

The attorney general said Hasina can be brought back to Bangladesh through the Interpol and using the extradition treaty.

Hasina fled to India on August 5 amid the student-public protest and uprising.

So far, Hasina has been sued in 224 cases.
