Episode Details

Sheikh Hasina, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister and fugitive from justice, announces she’ll return home to Bangladesh in December despite a death sentence for crimes against humanity — a move that underscores her defiant loyalty to her people over personal safety. Exiled in India since 2024 after mass protests ousted her, Hasina faces charges for ordering a crackdown that killed nearly 1,400; she insists she’s innocent. India has refused extradition, but Hasina remains undeterred, also calling for her party’s unbanning and release of political prisoners. Meanwhile, in Dhaka, the new government — led by a prime minister whose mother was Hasina’s fiercest rival — opens a museum in her former residence, honoring the 2024 uprising with victims’ artifacts and records of alleged repression during her decades in power.
