獨家：哈西娜尋求新護照以返回孟加拉，政府駁回請求

作者：克里希納・N・達斯By Krishna N. Das

新德里，11月9日（路透社）——路透社見到的一封信顯示，遭罷黜的孟加拉總理謝赫・哈西娜（Sheikh Hasina）週一申請新的護照與身分證，以便結束在印度的自我流亡並返回孟加拉。這是她2024年出逃後首次發出這類聯繫，但孟加拉政府迅速駁回她的請求。NEW DELHI, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina requested on Monday a new passport and identity card so she can return from self-imposed exile in India, according to a letter seen by Reuters, her first such communication since fleeing in 2024, but the government swiftly rejected her request.

這項請求是哈西娜迄今最明確的一步，顯示她打算落實12月返回孟加拉的計畫。兩年多前，一場致命起義終結了她的長期統治；如今她的政黨已遭禁，這也使孟加拉可能再度出現政治與法律緊張。The request marks the clearest step by Hasina to act on her plan to return to Bangladesh in December, more than two years after a deadly uprising ended her long rule, raising the prospect of fresh political and legal tensions in a country where her party is now banned.

她曾告訴路透社，她計劃返國向法院投案；她的幕僚週一表示，一旦各項手續完成，就會公布日期。孟加拉戰爭罪法院去年11月在她缺席的情況下，以她下令致命鎮壓學生主導的起義為由判處她死刑，不過她在流亡期間否認相關指控。She has told Reuters she plans to return to surrender before a court, and her aides said on Monday the date would be announced once various formalities were completed. Bangladesh's war-crimes court sentenced her to death in November last year in her absence for ordering a deadly crackdown on the student-led uprising, though she has denied the charges from exile.

哈西娜在倫敦Matrix Chambers的律師致函孟加拉駐德里大使館代理高級專員普麗蒂・拉赫曼（Preeti Rahman）表示：「鑑於據報臨時政府及其他主管機關已撤銷她現有的孟加拉護照與國民身分證（NID），我謹此請求您採取必要步驟，為我們的當事人核發新的孟加拉護照與國民身分證。」"In view of the reported revocation of her existing Bangladeshi passport and National Identity Card (NID) by the Interim Government and other authorities, I respectfully request that you take the necessary steps to issue a new Bangladeshi passport and National Identity Card for our client," Hasina's lawyers at London-based Matrix Chambers wrote to Preeti Rahman, acting high commissioner at Bangladesh's embassy in Delhi.

這封信要求，基於她的孟加拉國籍，並依照「國際人權文書所產生的義務」，「迅速」處理相關申請。The letter asked for the applications to be processed "expeditiously" on the basis of her Bangladeshi nationality and in accordance with "obligations arising under international human rights instruments".

但孟加拉政府表示，該國不會向「恐怖分子」核發護照。But the Bangladeshi government said the country does not provide "passport to a terrorist".

孟加拉外交國務部長胡邁雍・科比爾（Humaiun Kobir）告訴記者：「她是逃亡的罪犯。我們和印度有有效的引渡條約。我們要她被移交回來。」"She is a fugitive criminal. We have an active extradition treaty with India. We want her handed over," Bangladesh state minister for foreign affairs, Humaiun Kobir, told reporters.

「難道我們應該把她當成一般商務旅客，告訴她可以來探望婆家嗎？」"Should we treat her like an ordinary commercial traveller and tell her to come and visit her in-laws’ residence?"

哈西娜離開印度可能改善孟加拉與印度關係HASINA EXIT COULD IMPROVE BANGLADESH-INDIA TIES

印度外交部未立即回應媒體詢問。該部4月表示，正在審查孟加拉提出的引渡哈西娜請求，並希望「與新政府進行建設性接觸，進一步強化雙邊關係」。India's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In April, the ministry said it was examining Bangladesh's request to extradite her and that it wanted to "engage constructively with the new government and further strengthen bilateral ties".

哈西娜的人民聯盟（Awami League）在她垮台前是孟加拉最大政黨。她的許多黨內同僚不是已入獄，就是在印度或其他地方自我流亡。Hasina's Awami League party was the country's largest before it was banned following her fall. Many of her party colleagues have either been jailed or are in self-imposed exile in India or elsewhere.

哈西娜曾多次出任總理，執政孟加拉合計20年。她在部分民眾中仍獲支持；在達卡政府試圖於兩年多動盪後恢復穩定之際，她若返國，可能加劇政治分歧。Having ruled Bangladesh for 20 years as prime minister across multiple terms, Hasina still enjoys support among sections of the population, and a return could sharpen political divisions as the government in Dhaka seeks to restore stability after more than two years of upheaval.

另一方面，這可能改善孟加拉與印度之間緊張的關係；在新德里庇護哈西娜後，兩國關係急遽惡化。On the other hand, it could improve Bangladesh's strained ties with India, which deteriorated sharply after New Delhi gave her refuge.
