Those who set off bombs on Easter Sunday in 2019 still engaged in politics and work as police officers to date, Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said yesterday.

“Those who set off bombs in three churches and a few hotels in 2019 are still engaged in politics and also work as police officers. Our cry for justice has been neglected because of this. However we as Catholics will have to keep on praying that justice would be done,” the Cardinal said.
