Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said she will return to the country this year despite facing the possibility of arrest and several legal cases. Speaking to party supporters, she said she was “not afraid of death” and remained determined to continue her political journey.
Hasina, who has been staying in India since leaving Bangladesh after widespread protests last year, accused the interim government of undermining democracy and creating an atmosphere of fear. She alleged that members of her Awami League party were being targeted and that democratic institutions were under pressure.
The former prime minister said her return was driven by a commitment to the people of Bangladesh. She insisted that the country’s democratic values must be protected and promised to continue fighting for political stability.
Leaders of the Awami League welcomed her statement, saying it would boost the morale of party workers and strengthen preparations for future political battles. Supporters believe her return could revive the party’s campaign at a crucial time.
Her announcement has sparked fresh debate over Bangladesh’s political future. Authorities have registered multiple cases against Hasina following her exit from power, and legal experts say she could be arrested if she returns. Her political future will depend on court proceedings and decisions taken by the interim administration.
