A course of action to mete out justice to those affected by the Easter Sunday Bomb attacks is being organized by the Sri Lankan Catholic Church together with the Vatican behind closed doors, Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said today.
“A course of action is being organized by the Sri Lankan Catholic Church together with the Vatican, but we will not divulge anything about it now,” Cardinal Ranjith told a press conference.
“It is the government which has to bear the responsibility for the consequences which Sri Lanka has to undergo if the church seeks international assistance to mete out justice to those who were affected by the Easter Sunday mayhem,” he added.
The local Catholic Archbishop who referred to the arrest of activist Shehan Chanaka on Monday, alleged that it has been more or less an abduction. “Shehan has been taken away by a white van while walking on the road and no one knows as to where he is at the moment. There is a civilized way to arrest people. I would like to remind the Attorney General and the IGP that satisfying politicians is not their duty,” he also said. (Yohan Perera)
