Bangladesh warned the country’s media not to publicise the ‌statements of exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina who is due to give a virtual address on Wednesday from India to mark the second anniversary of the uprising that ousted her. Hasina has remained in India since the student-led protests toppled her government in 2024. ​She was sentenced to death in 2025 for crimes against humanity over her crackdown on the demonstrations, a ​verdict she has dismissed as legally void. The 78-year-old is due to make her first public ⁠appearance, albeit by video link, since she fled Dhaka, at an event hosted by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club ​of South Asia in New Delhi alongside her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, and other speakers. Hasina’s aides have not shared details ​of the contents of her address, but the former premier told Reuters last month that she and party colleagues plan to return from exile around December and present themselves in court, a move that would test how Bangladesh’s new government handles its most prominent political ​opponent.
