The Spin

AHasina has tacitly confessed to be a criminal when she cowardly decided fled — or got smuggled — to India once it was clear that her autocratic rule had come to an end. The former prime minister will have much to explain upon her possible return to Bangladesh — and pay for her crimes.

BAgitators and terrorists have plunged Bangladesh into chaos only to put the blame on Hasina and initiate several politically motivated cases against her and other innocent top officials. This persecution is all to reminiscent of the sacrifices her family — and other martyrs — had to make for the country.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 10% chance that Sheikh Hasina will get asylum in the United Kingdom before October 1, 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
