Story summary

Sheikh Hasina, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, will be executed if she returns to the country, according to Bangladeshi prosecutor Md Aminul Islam. Hasina was ousted after a mass uprising in 2024 and has since been living in self-imposed exile in India. She recently vowed to return to Bangladesh in December despite being convicted of crimes against humanity for her crackdown on protesters that year. The prosecutor stated that the 79-year-old missed the deadline to appeal her conviction, leaving no further legal recourse available to her. Under Hasina's 15-year rule, Bangladesh transformed from a largely agricultural economy into a global manufacturing hub, but critics accuse her of jailing political rivals and overseeing human rights abuses.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
