Bangladesh Police Declare Former PM Sheikh Hasina a Fugitive

Bangladesh's Criminal Investigation Department has declared former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 260 others as fugitives in a sedition case. A notice published in national newspapers accuses them of conspiring to overthrow the government. This development follows Hasina's ouster in August 2024 after widespread protests. Currently in exile in India, she faces multiple cases, including for murder and crimes against humanity, related to the violent suppression of the protests that led to her government's fall.
