State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humayun Kabir declared on Thursday, November 5, 2026, that no ordinary passport or travel pass will be issued to bring back deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India as a fugitive convicted accused on death row.
Speaking to journalists at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka after seeing off the high-level delegation led by Liu Haixing, Minister of the International Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Humayun Kabir clarified the government's legal stance. He emphasized that as a fugitive facing death penalty sentences in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina must be repatriated from New Delhi strictly under the provisions of the existing Bangladesh-India Extradition Treaty rather than through standard travel documentation.
