Bangladesh Seeks Indian Extradition of Sheikh Hasina as Death Sentence Imposed in Bangladesh.
A death sentence has been handed down to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the leader of Bangladesh's main opposition party. The ruling party, however, is now seeking the extradition of Ms. Hasina from India, where she currently resides, citing national security concerns.
Ms. Hasina was tried and found guilty in absentia by a Bangladeshi court for her government's deadly crackdown on student-led protests that took place last year. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Ms. Hasina, had banned a group of student leaders after they organized mass protests against the government's economic policies.
According to reports, a high-level meeting was held in Dhaka yesterday between the Bangladeshi foreign ministry and Indian officials over the extradition demand. The Bangladeshi side demanded that India hand her over immediately, citing concerns over national security and potential threat to the country's stability.

This is getting out of hand. I mean, a death sentence for Sheikh Hasina? It's just so...predictable. And now they're trying to extradite her from India because of "national security concerns"? 
Give me a break. Isn't that just an excuse to avoid having to deal with the fallout of their own government's mistakes?
The student protests were a legitimate response to economic policies that benefited the wealthy at the expense of the poor. And now they're trying to silence her by killing her? It's just not right.
That doesn't smell like cooperation to me. Something fishy is going on here...
. It's like Bangladesh is trying to play a game of cat and mouse with India all over again... I mean, didn't they just get done with all that drama with BNP? And now they're asking India to extradite Sheikh Hasina? What's the real motivation here? Is it really about national security or is it just a power struggle?
. What's next? Are we gonna see more countries getting involved in this mess?
It's like something out of a movie. But seriously, India has to decide whether or not they're gonna extradite her. It's not just about national security, it's also about human rights. You can't just send someone back to a country where they'll likely be put on trial and possibly executed for crimes committed while in office 
.
, this is crazy! What's going on in Bangladesh is getting more intense by the day 
.
. Can't they see that this whole situation is a mess? The Bangladeshi government wants her out, but then what? Are they gonna solve all their problems just because she's gone? It's just not that simple, mate 
.
she's been through so much and I just hope she stays safe in India for now. I mean, a death sentence is crazy and it's not fair that she's being treated like this after everything she's been through as a leader. It's like the government is trying to silence her 
and take away her freedom.
.
. One minute she's being tried in absentia for allegedly orchestrating a crackdown on protests, and the next she's seeking asylum in India because of "national security concerns"? 
... but at the same time, I think it's kinda predictable 
But seriously, isn't India just playing into Bangladesh's hands by giving in to their demands so easily? 
I guess only time will tell. One thing for sure, though - this whole situation is making me anxious 
"The die is cast" – as if a death sentence isn't already cast? 
It's all so suspicious. What really goes on behind closed doors, right? 
.
.
She's been in hiding for a while now and it's not like she's got any plans to return to Bangladesh anytime soon. Plus, isn't India all about protecting human rights and stuff? 
It just feels like there are a lot of unanswered questions here...
guess the world can be pretty divided right now 
. If she's really as wanted a fugitive, it doesn't make sense that she'd be living openly in India without any issues 
.
