Will Sheikh Hasina return to Bangladesh? | Inside Story

She faces being hanged...
Yet, Sheikh Hasina says she will return to Bangladesh and would rather die in her country.
She served twice as prime minister but was forced to resign and flee after mass street protests in 2024.
Since then, she's been living in India, which has refused a request by Bangladesh to hand her over.
Sheikh Hasina says she asked for a new passport to return.
But the government in Dhaka turned down the request.
The former leader announced she'll return home in December, no matter what.

So, what would her possible return mean for politics in Bangladesh?
