Dhaka, Ottawa to discuss ways to extradite Noor Chy

Bangladesh and Canada will further discuss ways for the extradition of Noor Chowdhury, a convicted killer of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, in Ottawa this week.

Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali leaves for Ottawa tonight (Sunday night) and will have talks with his Canadian counterpart Stéphane Dion, said a senior official at the Foreign Ministry today.

The meeting, which will discuss other issues, is likely to be held on Tuesday with a special focus on how to bring Noor Chowdhury to justice and execute the verdict of the Bangabandhu murder case.

Earlier in September, Bangladesh and Canada agreed to find out a way for the extradition of Noor Chowdhury during a meeting between Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau at Hyatt Regency Montreal, said the official.

Official sources said the government is moving ahead taking all legal complexities into consideration and is redoubling its efforts to bring back the fugitive killers of Bangabandhu making sure that no one of the killers will be spared.

The Foreign Minister will leave Ottawa for Paris on Tuesday to attend a conference and will return home on October 29.
