The ousted Bangladeshi leader, who fled the country by helicopter in 2024, has vowed to return from exile despite facing a death sentence. Her departure followed nearly two months of protests that resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,400 people, according to the United Nations. This statement was made on the second anniversary of her ouster.

The protests in 2024 marked a significant period of unrest in Bangladesh, leading to her forced exit. The leader's commitment to return underscores ongoing political tensions in the country.
