The government will take necessary steps to bring ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina back to the
country following arrest warrant issued by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) against her.
"We (foreign ministry) have just received the news…We will certainly take necessary steps to repatriate
her (Hasina)," Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain told newsmen.
Briefing newsmen at the ministry here this afternoon, he said, "We have one month’s time, and we will
take necessary steps (by this time) to this end.”
Asked about Hasina’s whereabouts, the foreign adviser said unofficial sources indicated that the former
premier is still in New Delhi.
Regarding other Awami League leaders, who have fled the country after August 5, Hossain said that the
government would also take measures to bring them back to face justice.
The reconstituted ICT today issued arrest warrant against Sheikh Hasina and 45 others including her son
Sajeeb Wazed Joy on charges of crimes against humanity.
The court has instructed authorities to detain the accused and produce them before the tribunal by
November 18
