India Considers Bangladesh's Extradition Request for Sheikh Hasina Under Treaty and Law
Bangladesh has requested India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was sentenced to death in absentia by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal for crimes against humanity related to the 2024 student quota protest. India and Bangladesh's 2013 extradition treaty, amended in 2016, along with India's Extradition Act of 1962 and the UN Model Law on Extradition, provide the legal framework governing such requests. These laws include safeguards allowing India to refuse extradition under certain conditions, such as concerns over political motivation or capital punishment.
