Bangladesh is pressing for the trial of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina at the International Criminal Court, as announced by the interim government's chief office, Muhammad Yunus, on Thursday.

Chief Adviser Yunus met with ICC prosecutor Karim A Khan at his Jamuna residence to discuss the possibility of prosecuting Hasina, who faces various charges, including involvement in massacres and disappearances during her rule.

With dozens of cases under process in the Internal Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICT-BD) against Hasina and her associates, Bangladesh seeks her repatriation from India and international assistance to bring her to justice.
