New Delhi, July 10 (EFE).- Ex-Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina plans to return to Bangladesh before the end of the year despite a death sentence handed down by a tribunal, her spokesperson told EFE on Friday.
Hasina’s official spokesperson, Mozammel Ali, said the former prime minister intends to return before Dec. 31 but has not yet decided on a specific date.
“She has mentioned that she would like to return to Bangladesh before the end of this year, obviously means by 31st of December, but she has not specified any particular date as yet,” Ali said, adding that she would announce her plans «in due course.»
Hasina was sentenced to death by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal over her alleged role in the violent crackdown on protests that toppled her government in 2024.
Ali dismissed the verdict as politically motivated.
