Bangladesh’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed Islam says former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be jailed if she returns to Bangladesh. Both reports attribute the statement to the minister and indicate that Bangladesh is pursuing steps related to Hasina’s return under the current government. The Hindu adds that the process to bring Hasina back began during the previous interim regime and is now being carried forward by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-led government. The reports do not provide details on the specific charges, legal process, or timeline, but they converge on the minister’s position that Hasina’s return would trigger imprisonment. Neither outlet presents direct statements from Hasina in response to the comments. Overall, the coverage focuses on the political and legal stance articulated by Bangladesh’s foreign affairs ministry official regarding the consequences of Hasina’s potential return.
