孟加拉国前总理哈西娜申请新护照：计划12月回国向法院投案，她已被缺席判处死刑
新德里 — 据路透社11月9日看到的一封信函，孟加拉国前总理谢赫·哈西娜当天通过律师向孟加拉国驻印度使馆申请新的护照和国民身份证件，为她计划在12月返回孟加拉国、向法院投案作准备。这是哈西娜2024年8月在席卷全国的抗议浪潮中下台并流亡印度以来，首次就证件问题正式致函孟方使馆，被视为她迄今为回国迈出的最明确一步。
信函由哈西娜委托的伦敦 Matrix Chambers 律师事务所写给孟加拉国驻新德里使馆代理高级专员 Preeti Rahman。信中说，哈西娜现有的孟加拉国护照和国民身份证据报已被临时政府等部门注销，请使馆以她的孟加拉国国籍为依据、按国际人权文书所生义务，尽快受理并签发新证件。哈西娜此前已对路透社表示，她计划回国向法院投案；她的助手9日表示，具体回国日期将在各项手续办完后公布。Rahman 与孟加拉国总理 Tarique Rahman 的发言人均未立即回应置评请求。
哈西娜回国面临的直接障碍是刑案在身：孟加拉国的战争罪法庭去年11月以她下令对学生领导的抗议运动实施致命镇压为由，在她缺席的情况下判处她死刑；联合国人权机构的报告估计，2024年那场抗议及镇压造成近1,400人死亡。哈西娜在流亡期间否认有关指控。她领导的人民联盟曾是孟加拉国最大的政党，在她倒台后已被禁止活动，多名党内同僚被监禁或流亡印度等地。
孟加拉国政府方面的口径则把她的回归定性为引渡问题：据孟加拉国媒体报道，该国外交国务部长 Humaiun Kobir 11月5日表示，法院逮捕令现行有效、两国又有引渡条约，没有必要为她签发护照或旅行证件，孟方将循司法与外交渠道要求印度交人；内政部长 Salahuddin Ahmed 表示，印度既未同意也未明确拒绝引渡请求，称请求正在接受法律审查。哈西娜在印度受庇护已使印孟关系趋于紧张，路透社指出，她若成行回国，可能激化孟加拉国国内政治分歧，也可能反过来影响达卡与新德里的关系走向。（来源：路透社）
Bangladesh's Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina Seeks New Passport Ahead of Planned December Return to Surrender in Court
NEW DELHI — Ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday requested a new passport and national identity card from Bangladesh's diplomatic mission in India so she can return from self-imposed exile, according to a letter seen by Reuters. It is her first such communication since she fled in 2024, and the clearest step yet toward acting on her plan to return to Bangladesh in December and surrender before a court, more than two years after a deadly uprising ended her long rule.
Her lawyers at London-based Matrix Chambers wrote to Preeti Rahman, acting high commissioner at Bangladesh's mission in Delhi, saying Hasina's existing Bangladeshi passport and National Identity Card had reportedly been revoked by the interim government and other authorities, and asking that new documents be issued expeditiously on the basis of her Bangladeshi nationality and in accordance with obligations under international human rights instruments. Hasina has told Reuters she plans to return to surrender before a court, and her aides said on Monday the date would be announced once various formalities were completed. Rahman and spokespeople for Prime Minister Tarique Rahman in Dhaka did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A death sentence hangs over any return: Bangladesh's war-crimes court sentenced Hasina to death in absentia in November last year for ordering a deadly crackdown on the student-led uprising, and a UN human rights report estimated that nearly 1,400 people were killed during the 2024 protests and crackdown. She has denied the charges from exile. Her Awami League, once the country's largest party, has been banned since her fall, and many of her party colleagues have been jailed or are in self-imposed exile in India or elsewhere.
Dhaka's position frames her return as an extradition matter: Bangladeshi media reported that State Minister for Foreign Affairs Humaiun Kobir said on November 5 that a court warrant is in force and a bilateral extradition treaty exists, so there is no need to issue her a passport or travel document, and that Bangladesh would pursue her handover through judicial and diplomatic channels. Interior Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said India has neither agreed to hand her over nor explicitly refused, and that the request is under legal review. India's sheltering of Hasina has strained ties with Dhaka; Reuters notes that a return could sharpen political divisions in Bangladesh, while also bearing on the two neighbours' relations.
