Former President Maithripala Sirisena must accept total fault for the Easter Sunday Attacks, MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka said.
He added that the former President must face a more severe punishment, as compensation cannot do justice to the victims and the country.
Earlier today , the Supreme Court ordered Sirisena to pay compensation to the victims of the 2019 Easter bombings.
The verdict by a seven-member bench headed by Chief Justice Jayantha Jayasuriya came on a plea against Sirisena and other senior state officials for “failing to prevent” the April 2019 bombings “despite receiving intelligence ahead of the attack.” (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)
