Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will have to face her death sentence if she returns to the country, International Crimes Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam said on Tuesday. His remarks came after Hasina sought a new passport and identity card from the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi through her London-based lawyers. Hasina was sentenced to death in absentia in 2025 for crimes against humanity over the deadly crackdown on protesters in 2024. Aminul said she had missed the 30-day appeal deadline and could not legally obtain travel documents. He said her return must follow the India-Bangladesh extradition treaty.
