Bangladeshi tribunal calls for Interpol ‘red notice’ to arrest former PM Hasina
A SPECIAL tribunal in Bangladesh today asked the international police organisation Interpol to issue a “red notice” for the arrest of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The tribunal argued that the former prime minister should answer for her actions in connection with the deaths of hundreds of protesters during the student led mass uprising that led to her removal from power.
The law advisor to the country’s interim government, Asif Nazrul, said that the government would request the France-based organisation to issue a red notice alert for Ms Hasina and her loyalists.
