Bangladesh says Sheikh Hasina should face legal proceedings if she returns

PTI, July 14, 2026, Dhaka: Bangladesh on Tuesday said it "welcomes" deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's plans to return home, asserting that she must face justice following her conviction in a case in which she received the death penalty.
The comments came amid reports of Hasina's possible return to Bangladesh by the end of this year.
Hasina, the 78-year-old daughter of Bangladesh's founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was toppled in a violent student-led street protest on August 5, 2024. She has been living in India since she fled Dhaka following the collapse of her government.
"We welcome her announcement as we want to ensure justice," Prime Minister's Adviser for Information and Strategy Zahed Ur Rahman said at a media briefing on Tuesday.
Rahman said the "people of the country want her death penalty to be upheld for the crimes she committed, and in that case her capital punishment will be executed as the people want to see that".
