Months after being condemned to death in absentia for crimes against humanity, Sheikh Hasina, the fugitive former leader of Bangladesh, promised to return to her nation “this year” in an interview released on Sunday. After her 15-year reign was overthrown by a student-led rebellion, Hasina, 78, escaped to neighboring India in August 2024. With the exception of a rare address she gave in January to a crowded press club in New Delhi, she hasn’t been seen in public since.
Hasina claimed that the decision against her was “part of an illegal, unconstitutional and politically motivated process” and that she was not afraid of dying in an interview with Indian channel NDTV.I have been the target of numerous conspiracies. However, overcoming every conspiracy web… “I worked for the nation’s unprecedented development and was elected prime minister five times by the people,” Hasina stated.In response to a query about whether she would return despite the death penalty judgment, she said, “I want to say clearly: overcoming every obstacle and every conspiracy, I will return to my country this year.”
A Dhaka court in November found Hasina guilty of incitement, order to kill, and failure to stop atrocities. She was given a hanging sentence. Her previous ruling Awami League, which was once among the most well-liked in the nation, has had its operations banned. Since Prime Minister Tarique Rahman won a resounding election victory in the 170 million-person South Asian nation in February, relations between India and Bangladesh have improved.
