  "summary": "Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's former Prime Minister, is set to make her first public appearance in India on August 5, 2023, ahead of her planned return to Bangladesh in December. The virtual event, hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Club of South Asia (FCC South Asia) in New Delhi, will feature Hasina alongside a roster of Bangladeshi political leaders, diplomats, and public figures. The proceedings will be chaired by Dr Waiel Awwad and will be live-streamed on the club's social media platforms. The event coincides with the second anniversary of the 2024 protests that led to Hasina's ousting from power. Hasina, who is currently facing the death penalty in Bangladesh for ordering a deadly crackdown on student-led uprising, has expressed her desire to return to Bangladesh and surrender to the authorities.",
