Bangladesh's ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said she is 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 Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"I am fully aware of my fate. Still, I want to go back because my people are calling me," she added.
Toppled in August 2024 by a student-led uprising that ended her 15-year, iron-fisted rule, Hasina fled by helicopter to India as crowds stormed her residence.
The United Nations says up to 1,400 people were killed in crackdowns as she tried to cling to power.
