Sheikh Hasina said there has been no communication with the authorities in Dhaka over her proposed return. The tribunal also ordered the confiscation of her properties and sentenced former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death while awarding a five-year jail term to former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.
Hasina said that the death penalty awarded to her in Bangladesh is a result of an "illegal, unconstitutional, and politically motivated process."
The report, titled "Human Rights Violations and Abuses related to the Protests of July and August 2024 in Bangladesh," was published on February 12, 2025.
In her message, Sheikh Hasina said that the verdict of the people of West Bengal is a "clear reflection of their deep trust and admiration for Suvendu Adhikari’s strong and people-oriented leadership."
Bangladesh has formally asked India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to this country in August after a student-led movement dislodged her from power.
The arrest of a prominent Hindu monk in Bangladesh has sparked a diplomatic tussle with India, highlighting a recurring point of contention in the bilateral relationship: the condition of minorities in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh interim government has banned Bangladesh Chatra League, the student organisation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's party Awami League, after a demand by a student group that led the July-August uprising under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2009.
India on Thursday confirmed that former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina is still in this country
The removal of the Sheikh Hasina regime in Bangladesh is being projected as the handiwork of the American deep state. This is being accentuated by the appointment of Mohamad Yunus as head of the interim government.
