Hasina, 77, has been living in exile in India since August 5, when she fled the country amid student-led protests that ended her 16-year rule. The Dhaka-based International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former cabinet ministers, advisers and military and civilian officials for crimes against humanity and genocide.
