Hasina Vows Return to Bangladesh Despite Death Sentence

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, exiled in India since a 2024 student-led uprising, has vowed to return home, saying she is prepared for arrest or even death. Her pledge comes two years after her ouster and amid a death sentence for crimes against humanity. Bangladesh's government expressed outrage over her New Delhi address, while protesters burned her effigy and attacked the ancestral home of cricketer Shakib Al Hasan.
