Why ex-Bangladesh PM Hasina may return from India to face a death sentence | Global News Podcast
Two years to the day after resigning as prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina has delivered an address vowing to return home from exile in India.
The former leader was ousted amid mass protests in 2024, and subsequently sentenced to death in absentia for crimes against humanity. A Bangladeshi court ruled that she had authorised security forces to use “lethal weapons” against protestors. The United Nations has said up to 1,400 people were killed during the unrest.
After her speech, the Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying it was “outraged” that Ms Hasina was “allowed … to engage in live interaction with the media in New Delhi, where she and her henchmen launched venomous vitriol against the State of Bangladesh and her people.”
We ask the BBC’s South Asia specialist Anbarasan Ethirajan why Ms Hasina wants to return to Bangladesh now, and what could happen if she does.
Plus, we discuss how the new government of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman – which came to power in the country’s first elections since Ms Hasina’s ousting – has performed in its first six months, and the current state of Dhaka’s relations with India, Pakistan and China.

In a compelling new interview, veteran investigative reporter John North recounts his unforgettable experience of witnessing the failed execution attempt of death row inmate Christa Pike.
Pike was sentenced to death in Tennessee after the brutal 1995 murder of student Colleen Slemmer. For years, her case has remained one of the state’s most notorious criminal stories.
As an official media witness, John North was granted access to events unfolding inside the prison during the state’s attempt to carry out Pike’s execution – which did not go to plan.
The Tennessee Department of Correction has not explained why the execution did not go as planned, though it has defended the method it used. It declined comment on Pike’s statement when contacted by the BBC.
This programme includes details of the process of an execution you may find upsetting.
You can watch more episodes of It Happened to Me on BBC iPlayer.
