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."

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry had reportedly said yesterday, after the ceremony at the Ram Temple, that the event was part of the growing pressure on religious minorities in India.
Bangladesh has approached India once again for the extradition of Sheikh Hasina after the ICT awarded her a death sentence. Dhaka says the request falls under the bilateral treaty, as New Delhi signals continued engagement.
India’s neighbourhood diplomacy has rarely been straightforward, but the crisis surrounding former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s conviction and death sentence has created one of New Delhi’s most complex tests in recent years.
