Bangladesh Law Minister M Asaduzzaman said deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to be arrested immediately if she returns from India, before she can surrender before a court. Hasina, who fled Bangladesh in 2024, has been sentenced to death in absentia by a tribunal over the 2024 protests. Dhaka has sought her extradition from India.
Deposed Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is likely to be arrested immediately if she returns from India, before she gets an opportunity to surrender before a court, Bangladesh Law Minister M Asaduzzaman said on Thursday.
The minister's remarks came a day after Hasina told a news agency that she intended to return to Bangladesh by December despite fearing for her life.
"I may be killed. I may be arrested. I may be sent to prison … I am fully aware of my fate. Still, I want to go back because my people are calling me," she was quoted as saying.
Earlier this month, Hasina also indicated in interviews that she was discussing a possible return to Bangladesh with party colleagues by the end of this year.
