Sheikh Hasina Vows to Return to Bangladesh from Exile Despite Death Sentence
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, ousted in a 2024 mass uprising and sentenced to death by a Bangladeshi tribunal for her government's crackdown on protesters, has vowed to return from exile in India in December despite risks of arrest, imprisonment, or death. She denies wrongdoing and rejects the tribunal's legitimacy. Hasina stated she does not seek foreign intervention for her return and is determined to die on her own soil if that is her fate. Bangladesh has sought her extradition, but India has declined to hand her over.
