Sri Lankans call for justice on fourth anniversary of 2019 Easter bombings

Sri Lankans took to the streets on April 21, 2023, to demand justice and answers for the 2019 Easter bombings that left over 260 dead in the capital Colombo. Religious groups gathered to honour the victims while the Bishop of Colombo called out successive governments for not releasing information on the investigation, hinting that doing so may be harmful to those in power. The attacks, claimed by the Islamist state, targeted three churches and three hotels, leaving the country in shock.
