Hasina Says She Will Return From Exile in December
Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's former prime minister, told the AP she plans to return from exile in India next month. She was sentenced to death over her government's actions during a crackdown on protests. She said she is willing to face arrest and possible imprisonment if she returns.
Context
Hasina was ousted as prime minister in 2024 after mass protests, and she has lived in India since then. Her return would be a sensitive issue for both Bangladesh and India, which are close neighbours.
