Ousted Bangladeshi Premier Sheikh Hasina Vows December Return Despite Death SentencePreviousNext

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, ousted in 2024 amid mass protests, has vowed to return from exile in India next month despite a 2025 death sentence for crimes against humanity related to a government crackdown. She denies wrongdoing and challenges the tribunal's legitimacy. Hasina acknowledges the risk of arrest or harm upon return but emphasizes her commitment to be with her people. Bangladesh has sought her extradition, which India has declined.
