Troubles of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina are not ending. According to information received, the office of interim government chief Muhammad Yunus said on Thursday that Bangladesh has sought prosecution of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the International Criminal Court, while Hasina is facing trial in a domestic tribunal on charges of crimes against humanity.

Chief Advisor Yunus discussed the issue of Hasina's trial with International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim A Khan, who met him at his official Jamuna residence, an official of the Chief Advisor's press wing said.

Hasina arrived in India on August 5 following massive protests against the Awami League-led government over a controversial job quota system. Three days later, Nobel laureate Yunus took charge as the chief adviser of the interim government.

Help sought from Interpol for the return of Sheikh Hasina

He said Yunus during his meeting with Khan on Wednesday told him that Bangladesh will pursue charges against Hasina and her aides for allegedly carrying out genocide during the July-August popular uprising and enforced disappearances during the last 15 years of her rule.

Bangladesh's Internal Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) has dozens of cases pending against Hasina and her Cabinet colleagues, many of whom are either in jail or absconding in the country and abroad, while Dhaka has sought Interpol's help in securing their return from India.

International court is ready to cooperate: Karim Khan

However, the ICC prosecutor said the international court would like to cooperate with the ICT-BD, which has so far issued arrest warrants against Hasina and several top members of her Awami League party.

According to the press wing, the two also discussed the Rohingya crisis and humanitarian assistance to them, the situation in Myanmar as well as prosecution and accountability for atrocities during the July-August people's movement in Bangladesh.

Khan told Yunus that his office has formally sought an arrest warrant against Min Aung Hlaing, the head of Myanmar's military government, for crimes against humanity regarding the treatment of the Rohingya.
