Hasina’s Asylum Dilemma: The UK, India, and the Search for Safety

In light of political persecution fears, Hasina seeks asylum but faces significant hurdles. Without a valid visa or official passport, she needs a visa to enter the UK, where she hopes to request asylum. However, her current location outside the UK complicates her ability to apply for asylum. Each asylum claim in the UK is evaluated on its individual merits, case-by-case. Hasina’s primary concern is protection from political persecution amidst the new government investigations in Dhaka. For now, India appears to be her safest refuge.

Over the past 24 hours, intense discussions have taken place involving Hasina, Delhi, and London. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, accompanied by top officials, met with her at Hindon Air Force Station near Delhi. It is reported that Hasina is currently residing in a “safe house.” Doval has briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has been in contact with relevant officials.

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy clarified the UK’s stance on Monday, highlighting the violence and loss of life in Bangladesh and calling for a UN-led investigation. However, he made no mention of the UK considering asylum for Hasina. The British government advised that those needing international protection should seek asylum in the first safe country they reach, indicating this as the fastest route to safety.

In Delhi, despite the lack of a formal asylum policy, officials are clear about supporting Hasina due to her past cooperation in counter-terrorism efforts and her strategic importance. Sources emphasized that abandoning her in this crisis is not an option. They pointed out Hasina’s tragic family history, including the assassination of her father, Sheikh Mujib, and other family members in 1975, from which she narrowly escaped.

Given her critical situation, India plans to provide Hasina refuge, echoing the support she received in the past. With fast-paced developments, South Block faces a delicate situation, but New Delhi is determined to give Hasina the necessary time and space to decide her next steps. Plans are being made to secure an appropriate place for her, whether in a “safe house” or a high-security area in the Capital, ensuring her safety and protection.
