Her announcement, timed to the anniversary of the revolution that removed her, is less a legal calculation than a moral claim: that duty to one's people cannot be silenced by the threat of punishment.

India's refusal to extradite Hasina despite Bangladesh's demands signals India's protection of a former ally, straining bilateral relations. Bangladesh's new government asserts sovereignty by rejecting India's perceived interference.
