Bangladesh’s Ousted Premier Hasina Tells the AP She Will Return From Exile in December at Any Cost – WTOP News
Hasina said she will go home despite a death sentence, as her party remains banned and thousands of supporters face arrests, exile and intimidation.
- Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told The Associated Press on Wednesday she remains committed to returning to Bangladesh next month from exile in India, despite her 2024 ouster.
- A Bangladeshi special tribunal sentenced Hasina to death in 2025 for her role in a deadly protest crackdown, while her Awami League party remains banned from political activity.
- "I know that I may be arrested when I return," Hasina said, acknowledging potential imprisonment or death, yet refusing to "spend the rest of my life watching my people suffer."
- Hasina alleged at least 20 party members have been killed since August 2024, though Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's government denies allegations of systematic suppression, citing specific criminal charges.
- Regarding foreign intervention, Hasina said, "I do not need the blessing of a foreign power," while expressing concern over the growing influence of hard-liners in Bangladesh's current political environment.
