# Ousted Bangladesh PM Hasina to Break Silence in First Address

Sheikh Hasina, who fled Bangladesh after mass protests toppled her government, is expected to speak publicly for the first time since her ouster. The address is highly anticipated as she is likely to defend her tenure and comment on current events. Her remarks could influence the political situation and her possible next steps in exile.
