Observer Online Report

A leading Australian university is set to review an honorary doctorate degree awarded to former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The fascist Hasina received that degree in 'Law' in 1999 from Australian National University.

ANU has confirmed that its honorary committee is re-evaluating the honorary Doctor of Laws degree it awarded to Hasina in 1999, Australian daily The Canberra Times reports.

However, the university has not committed to a decision until it completes a broader review of its revocation procedures.

If revoked, it would mark a historic first for ANU.

"Revocation of such a degree has not occurred in the university's recent history and no procedural precedent exists," a university spokesperson told the Australian Associated Press.

"The university is undertaking to develop a more detailed revocation procedure before deciding on any specific matter."
