Dhaka, Bangladesh – Bangladesh’s ousted leader Sheikh Hasina wants a new passport to return to the country next month, more than two years after fleeing to India following a mass uprising that forced her from power.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
In 2025, a Bangladeshi special tribunal sentenced her to death for crimes against humanity, ruling that she was responsible for ordering the crackdown, which left hundreds of people dead and thousands of others injured.
Bangladesh has repeatedly sought Ms. Hasina's extradition, but India has declined to hand her over.
Ms. Hasina told The Associated Press in an interview this month that she would return to Bangladesh in December at any cost.
In February, Tarique Rahman, son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and a longtime political rival of Hasina, swept to power in a landslide election held under Yunus’ administration.
