Sheikh Hasina to Make First Public Appearance Since 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. The virtual event, hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia in New Delhi on August 5, 2026, will include Hasina addressing her future plans and hinting at a return to Bangladesh. Hasina, who fled amid a student-led uprising in 2024 and faces a death sentence in absentia, will be joined by prominent Bangladeshi figures. She has expressed readiness to surrender upon her planned return in December 2026.
