Sri Lanka’s Ongoing Struggle for Justice After Easter Sunday Bombings

Despite assurances from President Ranil Wickremesinghe regarding a free and fair investigation into the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, Sri Lanka continues to grapple with the aftermath of the devastating attacks. The deployment of thousands of security personnel underscores the lingering concerns over safety and the need for vigilance during religious gatherings.

However, the lack of significant progress in trials and dissatisfaction from the Catholic Church highlight persistent challenges in achieving accountability and closure for the victims and their families. With revelations of negligence and accusations of political cover-ups, Sri Lanka faces a long road ahead in its pursuit of justice and reconciliation in the wake of this tragic event.
