Sheikh Hasina to Make First Public Appearance Since 2024 Ouster, Plans Bangladesh Return
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is set to make her first public appearance since her ouster nearly two years ago, addressing a virtual event hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia in New Delhi on August 5, 2026. Hasina, who fled Bangladesh amid a student-led uprising in 2024 and has been living in exile in India, is expected to discuss her political future, plans to return to Bangladesh by December 2026, and the ongoing legal challenges she faces, including a death sentence in absentia. The event will feature prominent Bangladeshi political figures and will be live-streamed.
