Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced that she plans to return to Bangladesh in December 2026 with senior leaders of the Awami League and voluntarily surrender to the authorities. Living in exile in India since 2024, Hasina said she is prepared to face arrest or even death but wants to return to her homeland. She continues to deny the charges against her, including a death sentence handed down in absentia. Her planned return is expected to intensify Bangladesh's political tensions while drawing close international attention. (PC: Reuters)
