Bangladesh’s ousted leader Sheikh Hasina appeals for a new passport to return from exile

Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's former prime minister, was ousted in a mass uprising two years ago and has been living in exile since then. She recently requested a new passport to return to Bangladesh. However, she faces serious legal jeopardy if she returns, as she could be prosecuted and potentially executed for her role in violently suppressing the 2024 uprising.
