Hasan urges Canada to extradite Noor Chowdhury

Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has urged the Canadian government to handover Bangabandhu's convicted killer Noor Chowdhury.

The foreign minister made the call when Canadian high commissioner in Dhaka Lilly Nicholls called on him on Monday. 
He said this to reporters after holding the meeting at the foreign ministry. 

The foreign minister said he suggested the ambassador to consult with the law ministry on what way the Canadian authority can deport the fugitive convicted killer of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. 

In reply, the Canadian envoy assured the foreign minister that she would convey Bangladesh's demand to her government to deport Noor Chowdhury. 

The government so far traced out Bangabandhu's two convicted fugitive killers - Noor Chowdhury and Rashed Chowdhury - residing in Canada and the USA respectively, while the whereabouts of other three fugitives -Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Shariful Haque Dalim and Moslehuddin Khan - are yet to be ascertained.

After tracing the locations of the two killers, the foreign ministry and the law ministry have been deeply engaged with the Canadian and the US authorities to bring back the two absconding murderers.

During the meeting, Mahmud said, they also discussed on various bilateral issues while the Canadian envoy expressed her country's interest to engage more in multiple sectors with the new Bangladesh government.
