Hasina to Speak in Delhi, Plans Bangladesh Return
Sheikh Hasina, who used to be the leader of Bangladesh, will speak in New Delhi for the first time in two years.
She will talk about coming back to Bangladesh in December.
The event is being held by a group of journalists in a big hall in Delhi.
Some people in Bangladesh say she will be arrested when she returns because she has a death sentence.
Others think she should be allowed to go back to help her country.
The event will be shown online so many people can watch it.
Sheikh Hasina will make her first public appearance in India on August 5, two years after her ouster.
The event is hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia at the Sir Mark Tully Auditorium and will be live‑streamed.
Hasina is expected to announce her planned return to Bangladesh in December and outline her political roadmap.
Bangladesh’s Law Minister M Asaduzzaman said she would be arrested upon arrival, but the law will be applied.
