Bangladesh seeks Interpol help in Hasina arrest

Sheikh Hasina

A special tribunal in Bangladesh on Tuesday asked the international police organization Interpol to issue a red notice for the arrest of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in connection with the deaths of hundreds of protesters during a mass uprising against her. Hasina fled to India on August 5 with her close aides and former ministers, ending a 15-year rule.

Nobel Peace laurate Muhammad Yunus took over as the interim leader of the South Asian nation on August 8, and later reconstituted the tribunal that once handled charges of crimes against humanity during the country's 1971 independence war against Pakistan.
