  • A Dhaka court sentenced Hasina to death in absentia in November 2025 for crimes against humanity over the crackdown on the 2024 protests.

  • On November 10, 2026, Bangladesh’s government urged Hasina to seek extradition from India; India said Bangladesh’s extradition request was under review.

  • The prosecutor said the appeal deadline had passed and Hasina would face execution of the death sentence if she returned.

  • A Supreme Court lawyer said Hasina would be arrested upon entering Bangladesh.
  • Sheikh Hasina is a Bangladeshi citizen and she can enter Bangladesh through whatever means available to her—but as soon as she enters Bangladesh, she will be arrested.
    — Lawyer Ahsanul Karim said this in reference to Hasina's possible return to Bangladesh.
