Sanjeeb Wazed, son of former Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina, accuses the interim government of using the judiciary for political persecution against Awami League leaders. Wazed claims the appointed judges and prosecutors are conducting a biased trial.

The interim leader of the country was ‘weaponising the judiciary’, alleged Sajeeb Wazed a day after Dhaka stated it had sought Hasina’s extradition.

Sanjeeb Wazed's allegations came two days after the interim govt said it has sent a diplomatic note to New Delhi seeking Hasina's extradition from India.

Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed, who spoke on behalf of the family, said they were targets of a political witch hunt in Bangladesh.
