Easter Sunday Massacre: Catholic Church responds to former President Sirisena’s comment about ‘unawareness’ (VIDEO)

Date:

Reverend Father Cyril Gamini speaking to the briefing held at the Archbishop’s House today (28) responded to the claim made by former President Sirisena on the Easter Sunday Massacre, stating that there is no need to swear before the public about his ‘unawareness’ of the attack and that he should be appearing before law and proving his innocence.

Accordingly, the matter should be solved before the Court of Law, he emphasised.

Although the PCoI (Presidential Commission of Inquiry) report on the genocide recommends the action to be taken against about 30 people, it would be problematic as to why none of the recommendations are being implemented, Fr. Gamini pointed out.

In the backdrop, the former President shall not be making public statements swearing that he was ‘not aware’ of the attack, but should be proving his innocence before law, he added.
