Bangladesh's Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Aminul Islam stated that ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has no legal option but to face execution if she returns to the country. Hasina was sentenced to death in November 2025 for crimes against humanity and the 30-day appeal period has expired. The prosecutor also said issuing a passport to someone sentenced to death is not allowed under the country's law.
