Ex-PM Sheikh Hasina has ‘no option’ but to face death sentence if she returns, says Bangladesh prosecutor
Hasina on Monday requested for a new passport and identity card from the Bangladesh high commission in New Delhi, citing her plans to return to the country.
The attorney general of the International Criminal Court of Bangladesh warned “Sheikh Hasina,” the 79-year-old former prime minister, if he were to return home, would be immediately executed by hanging.
According to the Attorney General, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed can only return to the country for the execution of her death sentence, which was handed down last year. Hasina served as Prime Minister from 1996 to 2001 and from 2009 to 2024. This week, she unsuccessfully requested a new passport for her plan to return to Bangladesh at the end of this year.
