'I Don't Care': Defiant Sheikh Hasina Releases Audio Message As Bangladesh Court Convicts Her Of Crimes Against Humanity

New Delhi: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has issued a strong and uncompromising message ahead of a crucial verdict by the International Crimes Tribunal, declaring that she has no fear of the judgment and that her fate lies only in the hands of Allah.

In a defiant audio message to her supporters, ousted Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina declared that she was unfazed by the impending judgement of the International Crimes Tribunal – Bangladesh (ICT-Bangladesh) and remained committed to serving her people under any circumstances. “Let them deliver whatever verdict they want. I don’t care. Allah gave me life, and only He will take it,” she said, urging her party workers not to lose hope.

Hasina, who has been living in India since being ousted earlier this year, reiterated that she has committed no crime. 

In her address, she labelled the accusations “false”, and blamed the interim government under Muhammad Yunus for deliberately trying to dismantle her party, the Awami League, which has been banned and designated a “terrorist organisation” by the current regime.

She further accused the interim regime of granting amnesty to perpetrators of serious crimes, including the murder of police officers, journalists, lawyers and party activists — thereby blocking the path to justice for victims’ families.

Reflecting on the turmoil that forced her out of Bangladesh, Hasina spoke of losing family members and seeing her home set ablaze. Despite this, she vowed to continue fighting for what she called “justice for the people of Bangladesh,” insisting that the truth would eventually come out.

Addressing her supporters, Hasina appealed for calm and steadfastness. She acknowledged their hardship — citing restricted access to essentials — and promised that “everything will be accounted for.”  She also emphasised that under her 15-year rule Bangladesh had reached its peak, but under the current regime industry had shut down, youth were unemployed, and banks were being looted.

The timing ahead of the 2026 elections suggests that the ruling interim government under Muhammad Yunus is seeking to reshape the political landscape. Her party, Awami League, warned that the February 2026 national elections would not be allowed to proceed if the party remains banned.
