Bangladesh's fugitive ex-premier Sheikh Hasina told AFP she was determined to return to her country by December despite fearing for her life.

"I may be killed. I may be arrested. I may be sent to prison," Hasina, 78, said in an emailed response to questions by AFP.

"I am fully aware of my fate. Still, I want to go back because my people are calling me."
