Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has stated that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is a "fugitive criminal against humanity" under the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act of 1973—enacted during the tenure of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman—and therefore has no opportunity to return to Bangladesh or obtain a passport. Speaking at a brief rally at Shahbagh on Saturday, November 14, 2026, following a protest procession organized by Dhaka Metropolitan South Jubo Dal from the National Press Club against alleged terrorism and anarchy by the banned-activity Awami League, Rizvi asserted that she must serve every sentence handed down and pending under the law for crimes against humanity and the killings of citizens, students, and workers.
During his address, Rizvi also criticized Sheikh Mujibur Rahman over the establishment of BAKSAL and accused senior Awami League leaders of residing comfortably abroad in cities such as Kolkata, Bangkok, and Singapore while allegedly handing bombs to grassroots activists to create unrest inside Bangladesh. Commending Jubo Dal and BNP activists for standing firm despite past repression, he called upon nationalist and democratic forces nationwide to build street barricades to resist fascism.
