Bangladesh’s fugitive former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, 78, says she plans to return to Dhaka “this year.” Both reports state that Hasina has been living in neighbouring India after fleeing in August 2024. The move follows a student-led uprising that ended her 15-year period in office. The articles present Hasina’s remarks as her stated intention, but they do not provide additional details on timing, conditions for return, or the status of any legal cases related to her departure. The reports also do not describe any confirmed actions by Bangladeshi authorities or India to facilitate or block her return. Overall, the coverage focuses on her declared plan to return to Bangladesh’s capital and reiterates the circumstances of her flight—her removal from power after the uprising and her subsequent relocation to India.
