The recent conviction of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death, and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun to five years’ imprisonment by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal, is a “political farce and a miscarriage of justice”, the Rights and Risks Analysis Group (RRAG) said on Monday.
“The trial of Sheikh Hasina in absentia violates basic international human rights standards on fair trial. The interim government of Bangladesh did not pursue her extradition from India. If there had been evidence, Bangladesh could have filed a petition before India’s Supreme Court for her extradition,” said Suhas Chakma, Director of RRAG, adding, “Any country following the rule of law seeks extradition of the accused to meet fair trial standards, as India did for Abu Salem and is currently doing for Mehul Choksi in Belgium. Bangladesh, lacking evidence, decided to sentence Hasina and her colleagues in a Kangaroo Court trial.”
