Lawyers seek new passport and identity card
Sheikh Hasina has requested a new Bangladeshi passport and national identity card through her lawyers, Reuters reported on November 9, citing a letter it reviewed addressed to Bangladesh’s diplomatic mission in New Delhi. The former prime minister has said she plans to return from India in December to surrender before a court. The document request is a concrete administrative step, but does not establish that documents have been approved or a return date agreed. Reuters reported no immediate response from the diplomatic mission or government spokespeople. The timestamp records publication, rather than the letter’s submission time.
