Bangladesh's Law Minister M Asaduzzaman declared that Sheikh Hasina will be arrested immediately upon her return to the country, following her death sentence in November 2025, and may not have the opportunity to surrender to the court.
Bangladesh's top law minister, M Asaduzzaman, made a stark statement on Thursday, saying that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be taken into custody the moment she returns to the country. The claim follows Hasina's death sentence handed down in November 2025 by a special court. Asaduzzaman added that she may not even get the chance to surrender directly to the judiciary before being arrested. The statement comes amid heightened tensions between the ruling party and opposition forces. No official response has yet been issued by Hasina's camp or the opposition, leaving the political community uncertain about the next steps.
