Remove the word dictator. I pay Wikipedia and I want better outcome not fake news. Sheikh Hasina is my prime minister and I will not tolerate any misinformation about her. Look at Bangladesh now. You terrorists are getting what you deserve. Poor bastards. 2601:5CC:C701:CA00:6D74:6498:610F:B47 (talk) 01:09, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Sheikh Hasina is not a dictator. She is the mother of democracy. Please change the misinformation before God slams you. 2601:5CC:C701:CA00:6D74:6498:610F:B47 (talk) 02:05, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Sheikh Hasina’s development for Bangladesh over the last few years has been amazing. The minority terrorist group in Bangladesh ruled by Dr. Yunus provides misinformation about sheikh Hasina and Awami League. Sheikh Hasina fought terrorism until her last day in office. Sheikh Hasina is not a dictator and the term must be removed from Wikipedia. I have donated to Wikipedia significantly in the past and such misinformation is simply unacceptable. I want all my money back if this page isn’t fixed. She is simple the former prime minister of Bangladesh and also the next prime minister. She is not a fugitive. I’m really upset at Wikipedia. 2601:5CC:C701:CA00:6D74:6498:610F:B47 (talk) 02:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:While it's somewhat true that Yunus is becoming very controversial with Awami Ban and Myanmar thing (and some more since August), he isn't like as controversial as Hasnat or Sarjis. I was also shocked with the dictator and klepcrat (never heard that word before) thing given that this article is also high importance for women's history. Hasina's legacy will be better once the atrocities are not refreshed in momery (kinda like her father) but I don't think this is the time to fanboying her after the July incident. There was a sentence in this article that Hasina was menefestation of India's influence which also got removed just like the dictator kleptocrat thing. So, keep donating Wikipedia. Since we aren't contributing to improve this page, our comments will probably get removed. 37.111.213.54 (talk) 10:16, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

I have removed the terms "kleptocrat" and "dictator" that were used to refer to Hasina in the 1st sentence of the article. Loaded terminology like this is absolutely inappropriate for the opening sentence of a BLP and should not be used without great caution and solid, reliable sourcing to back it up. If we are to characterize Hasina in this way we should not do so in Wikivoice in the opening sentence, but should instead only summarize who has referred to her with these terms (i.e., X or Y has described her as a dictator).

:{{not done}}: I find it unnecessary to mention that she was the daughter of Rahman in the very 1st sentence of the article, given this is mentioned in the paragraph directly below. I did make one minor tweak to the wording of the second sentence (changing "regime" to "rule"), purely for grammatical reasons. I also have concerns about describing her premiership as 15 years of authoritarianism, especially given that the government became more authoritarian over time and was more democratic initially. But I'll wait for others to weigh in before making further changes. Day Creature (talk) 16:01, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Controversies

Sheikh Hasina and her family have been repeatedly accused of election rigging. Allegations include:

A longstanding pattern of vote manipulation, especially through state machinery.

Her son, Sajeeb Wazed, has been linked to digital surveillance and suppression of opposition voices.

Despite being outside the country at times, critics say she and her allies threaten citizens, claiming she will return to power by force and vote theft.

There are accusations that protesters who speak against her are harassed, jailed, or even killed.

Please remove the word dictator and kleptocracy. There is no such critics. I am a citizen of Bangladesh and I personally think that the interim government in Bangladesh is nothing less than Hamas terrorists. Sheikh Hasina is my leader and such comments are unacceptable.
