Canada to deport Bangabandhu killer Noor Chy: Minister
The Canadian government has decided to deport Noor Chowdhury, fugitive killer of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, to Bangladesh.
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said on Sunday afternoon at his Secretariat office.
He said the Canadian authorities have seized the passport of Noor Chowdhury since he has been illegally staying in Canada.
The law minister said the Canadian government seized the passport of Noor Chowdhury, a convict of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman murder case, in July last year and have submitted it to the Bangladesh High Commission in Canada.
Noor Chowdhury has to report to the local police station every week, he added.
The law minister said he had a discussion with his Canadian counterparts about bringing Noor Chowdhury back to Bangladesh.
He said Noor Chowdhury earlier appealed to the Canadian government to permit him to stay in that country as a refugee but the government has rejected his appeal.
Now he is trying to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada for allowing him to remain in the country, the minister informed.
Shafique Ahmed also said the Bangladesh government is trying to bring the fugitive convicts of Bangabandhu murder case back to the country.
