The first question is whether Sheikh Hasina has applied for asylum in London. On this, her son Sajeeb Wazed has given a clarification and called the reports that Sheikh Hasina’s asylum request has not been accepted as rumours. Sajeeb Wazed has said that Sheikh Hasina has not sought asylum from any country and the reports about asylum are false. He also said that she can come to different countries to meet her relatives.
Which people get asylum?
At the same time, the reason for Britain’s silence is that there are some rules of asylum in the UK, according to which Sheikh Hasina may face difficulty in asylum. Actually, to get asylum in any country, some criteria have to be fulfilled. According to the rules related to UK asylum, if any person is persecuted in his country due to his caste, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion and he is unable to live there, then he is given asylum.
What is the technical reason in London?
If we look at Sheikh Hasina’s case, the technical reason is that Sheikh Hasina has already come to India and due to this she is facing problems. The information related to asylum given on gov.uk tells which people are not considered for asylum. According to the rules, if you are coming to the UK through a ‘safe third country’ then you will not be considered.
Along with this, if you have good relations with a safe country where you can go, then also it will not be valid for asylum. In this case, Sheikh Hasina has come to India first and if it is safe for Sheikh Hasina, then she cannot be given asylum in the UK. A UK Home Office official has also said in a TV interview that British laws do not allow people to seek asylum after traveling to another country.
Which is considered a safe country?
According to the rules, a safe country is one where the asylum seeker is not a citizen. A country where you do not have any problem and that country will not send you to a country where you may face any problem. Along with this, the countries of the European Union are also not given space by the UK.
