Bangladesh’s ousted prime minister is heading to safety in… LONDON
CanaryAUG 2024
India must act swiftly and hand Sheikh Hasina over to Bangladesh so she can face justice for her alleged crimes. With growing demands for accountability from victims and political opponents, India's continued harboring of Hasina risks further straining its relations with Bangladesh. It's time for New Delhi to help restore trust and stability between the two nations.
As Bangladesh confronts its past, it needs to avoid vindictiveness against Hasina and refrain from victimizing her. While the victims of enforced disappearances deserve justice and truth, healing requires balance and compassion. Pursuing retribution against a former leader could deepen divisions and impede reconciliation. Bangladesh must avoid taking the easy path.
There's a 40% chance that Bangladesh will hold parliamentary elections within six months of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Aug. 5, 2024 ouster, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
