Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently living in exile in India, has publicly stated her intention to return to Bangladesh in December. This declaration is made despite the severe legal challenges she faces, including a death sentence and the likelihood of arrest upon her arrival. Hasina was removed from her position as Prime Minister in 2007 during a period of political turmoil and a state of emergency in Bangladesh. Since her ouster, she has remained in India, continuing her political activities from abroad.
