Killers should not get shelter in any country, Bangladesh Minister of Liberation War Affairs A.K.M. Mozammel Huq said on Thursday in reference to the killers of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country’s founding father and former President, who fled to Canada. He also condemned Israeli actions in Gaza, referring to the attacks on civilians.
“We condemn that, because they are killers. No country should shelter killers in the name of asylum. Who gets political asylum? Those who may be oppressed, possibility that they may not get justice. They already killed the father of the nation, they cannot get asylum. We condemn it,” Mr. Huq said, adding that Dhaka had been requesting Canada and other countries to extradite the killers. He was speaking to the media on the sidelines of an event at the Bangladesh High Commission.
