Hasina return bid

Where things stand

Ousted Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina has asked for a new passport and identity card on Monday, according to a letter seen by Reuters, to make a return from exile in India possible. A Bangladeshi war-crimes court sentenced her to death in absentia last November.

Sheikh Hasina ruled Bangladesh as prime minister until a student-led uprising ousted her, after which she went into self-imposed exile in India. A war-crimes court in Bangladesh has since convicted her over the deadly crackdown on the protests and sentenced her to death in absentia.

Ousted Bangladesh leader Hasina applies for new passport to return from exile

Ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina requested a new passport and identity card on Monday so a return from self-imposed exile in India becomes possible, according to a letter seen by Reuters. A war-crimes court in Bangladesh sentenced Hasina to death in absentia in November last year for ordering a deadly crackdown on the student-led uprising.
