Sheikh Hasina Will Face Justice, Not Mob Violence, If She Returns to Bangladesh: Adviser

Zahed Ur Rahman, the prime minister’s adviser on information and broadcasting, has said that former prime minister Sheikh Hasina will face legal proceedings rather than mob violence if she returns to Bangladesh.

Hasina was ousted during the July mass uprising. Ur Rahman made the remarks on Tuesday while responding to a journalist’s question at the government’s regular press briefing at the Secretariat, where officials discuss government activities and policies.

Speaking about the former prime minister, the adviser said the government would welcome her return and would not need to bring her back by force. He added that she would have to face the legal consequences of her conviction and sentence.

“We want her to come, and we would be happy if she does. We won’t have to bring her here by force. If she comes, she will face trial,” he said.

Referring to Hasina as a convict sentenced to death, Ur Rahman said the necessary legal procedures would be followed if she returned to the country.

However, the adviser expressed uncertainty over whether Hasina would actually return to Bangladesh, adding that discussions on the matter would continue.

Government Pledges Legal Process

Ur Rahman reiterated that Hasina would not be subjected to mob violence or any unlawful treatment if she came back.

“If she returns to the country, she will face justice. She will not face a mob. She will not face anything illegal,” he said.

He further contrasted the government's position with his criticism of Hasina’s record on justice, saying the authorities would ensure that her case was handled through the legal system.

“She did not deliver justice. We will ensure justice in her case. Let her come; she is welcome,” the adviser added.

His remarks underscore the government's stated commitment to pursuing legal proceedings against the former prime minister while ruling out extrajudicial action if she returns to Bangladesh.
