The Catholic community in Negombo who began an all-night protest to mark the fourth anniversary of Easter Sunday attacks last evening called for the unveiling of the truth behind the Easter Sunday attacks.

Fr Robinson Wijesinghe who was among the priests who participated in the protest and who delivered a sermon during the service before the protest said what people want is to find out the truth about the attack. “Prior warnings on the attack were received and the warnings were sent from one person to another but no action was taken to prevent the attack. We want to know why this happened,” he said.

The protest march which commenced from St Sebastian’s Church Katuwapitiya is expected to reach Colombo early morning today.
