They're going to convict her, and they'll probably sentence her to death, said Wazed, in the United States capital, Washington, DC. What can they do to my mother? My mother is safe in India. India is giving her full security. Hasina, 78, has lived in exile in New Delhi since fleeing Bangladesh in August 2024, when the student-led protests forced an end to her 15 years in power."
"A United Nations report estimated that up to 1,400 people were killed during the demonstrations that year, most by security forces firing live ammunition. The former leader faces trial at Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal over the deadly crackdown. She denies wrongdoing and calls the proceedings politically motivated. We will not allow elections' Wazed told Reuters that supporters of the Awami League the nominally centre-left, secular party that has dominated Bangladeshi politics since independence would prevent elections from going ahead if the party remains banned."
