Deposed Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says she plans to return to Bangladesh in December, despite facing a death sentence in absentia. Her statement sets out a timetable for her return amid an ongoing political and legal dispute.
Dhaka is seeking Hasina’s extradition, while India and Bangladesh are working on the matter. The announcement comes as relations between the two countries remain focused on how her case will be handled.
Hasina’s planned return would put her directly at the center of the proceedings connected to the sentence issued in her absence. Further developments are expected as Bangladesh and India continue addressing the extradition request.
