Will Sheikh Hasina return to Bangladesh?
Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says she plans to return to Dhaka in December, despite facing a death sentence.
Sheikh Hasina, who served twice as prime minister, was forced to resign and flee the country more than two years ago following large-scale street protests.
She has been living in India, which has refused a request by the government in Dhaka to hand her over.
Hasina says she has asked for a new passport to return, but the government in Dhaka has turned down the request.

Political implications
Analysts suggest that her return could further destabilise the political situation in Bangladesh.
The former leader's announcement has been met with mixed reactions from political observers and legal experts.
