Kolkata: Bangladesh’s interim government has revoked the passport of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The decision was announced by the interim government in Dhaka on Tuesday.

The order was issued during a hearing on Monday

Passports of a total of 97 individuals, including the ousted prime minister, have been revoked in the wake of the criminal proceedings against these individuals in the country.

While 22 of these individuals are facing charges for alleged involvement in enforced disappearances, 75 others face allegations of involvement in killings during the student protests in Bangladesh last year.

The development comes just a day after the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) issued arrest warrants against Sheikh Hasina and 11 others in the case of enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killings during her tenure.

The tribunal has set a deadline of February 12 for the accused, including Hasina, to be arrested and produced before it.

The order was issued during a hearing on Monday, January 6.
