A silent protest highlighting the Easter Sunday attack

Remarking the 4th anniversary of Easter Sunday attacks while highlighting that the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka is to build up a human chain on April 21, Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith today urged all citizens to join the church in this exercise.

 

“We call upon all our fellow citizens to join us, irrespective of differences of racial/ religious and political party affiliations to make up a human chain which will call upon our leaders to render justice to victims of Easter Sunday attacks and to strengthen the hands of freedom and justice in our motherland, which has unfortunately weakened,” he said.

 

He invites all to gather along the side of the Colombo Negombo main road on both sides by 8.30 am on Friday, April 21. The protest will be starting from St Anthony's Church Kochchikade and St Sebastian’s Church, Katuwapitiya, Negombo. He orders the public to observe silence at 8.45 am and remain there till 9 am.

 

A silent protest will also be held along Galle Road
