NEW DELHI: Bangladesh's fugitive ex-premier Sheikh Hasina told AFP she was determined to return to her country by December despite fearing for her life. I may be sent to prison," Hasina, 78, said in an emailed response to questions by AFP. The former prime minister, who has been living in a secret location in India, insisted there was no pressure for her to return. Relations between India and Bangladesh, strained under the interim administration that took power after Hasina's fall, have stabilised since Bangladeshi Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took office in February. Dhaka has formally requested Hasina's extradition - a request New Delhi has said is "under examination".
