Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has requested the US to extradite the killers of her father and founder of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Hasina made the request to US Secretary of State John Kerry when he called on her at her office. Hasina requested the US to extradite the killers of ‘Bangabandhu’ and most of his family members, who are living there.
In response to Hasina’s request, Kerry said that the US was considering the request. “I understand your sensitivity, the issue is under review,” Kerry said on Monday. Currently, the Bangladesh government is pursuing diplomatic and legal efforts to bring back six death-row fugitive killers of Bangabandhu, Dhaka Tribune reported.
On August 15, 1975, a group of junior army officers invaded the presidential residence with tanks and killed Mujib, his family and personal staff.
