Cardinal throws ultimatum to govt. to arraign perpetrators of Easter carnage
As second anniversary of suicide attacks nears
Archbishop of Colombo, Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith yesterday warned that countrywide protests would be held if the government failed to produce before courts, by April 21, those behind the Easter Sunday attacks.
The Cardinal said he would stand with the people until those who were responsible for the attacks are punished.
“If we don’t see anything concrete happening before 21 April, we will organize protests across the country. We urge the government to investigate the attacks
impartially and transparently. At least take actions against those named in the PCoI on Easter Sunday attacks before 21 April. Otherwise we will hold a continuous protest,” the Cardinal warned. (RK)
