Sheikh Hasina vows Bangladesh return in December despite death sentence: What happens next?
Key questions on fugitive ex-PM Hasina's vow to return to Bangladesh
Sheikh Hasina, the ousted leader of Bangladesh, has vowed to return to the country in December from her self-imposed exile in India, despite facing a death sentence for crimes against humanity. The 79-year-old former prime minister argues that she is compelled to return to fulfill her duty to the people, while her return may divide Bangladesh, with supporters awaiting her arrival and opponents warning of potential instability.
Hasina's return could be seen as an attempt to maintain her political relevance and rally her banned party's supporters.
