UN Report Sparks Calls for Sheikh Hasina's Extradition Amid Bangladesh Turmoil

Khaleda Zia’s party urges India to extradite Sheikh Hasina after a UN report accused her regime of attacks and killings during Bangladesh’s 2024 unrest. The report highlighted human rights violations under Hasina's government, sparking calls for her trial. The opposition also faces allegations of retaliatory violence.

Khaleda Zia's political faction on Thursday urged India to extradite Sheikh Hasina following a UN fact-finding report accusing Hasina's ousted regime of orchestrating attacks and killings during Bangladesh's 2024 protests.

The nearly 16-year leadership of Hasina's Awami League ended with a student uprising on August 5, 2024, prompting her flight to India. The report claims her government engaged in systemic human rights violations.

The report also detailed retaliatory violence and attacks on Hindus, linked to both Hasina's supporters and opposition factions. Calls for Hasina's extradition have heightened, with Bangladesh's interim government officially requesting her return.
