Ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina described a series of earthquakes that struck the country shortly after her death sentence verdict as ‘Allah’s play’. In an audio message to her party members, Hasina linked the tremors to the same day the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced her and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death for crimes against humanity during the July uprising. She also criticized the government’s handling of medical services and disaster response, claiming such negligence would not have occurred under her administration. Hasina further condemned the leasing of Chattogram Port’s New Mooring Container Terminal to a foreign company, questioning the legality of the deal. The High Court had earlier issued a rule on the matter, with judges divided over whether to suspend the contract process. The 5.7 magnitude earthquake on November 21, centered in Narsingdi’s Madhabdi, killed ten people and caused structural damage across several regions.
