Easter Sunday Massacre: Cardinal meets Michelle Bachelet

Date:

A meeting between His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith the Archbishop of Colombo and United Nations Human Rights Commissioner Michelle Bachelet was held at 02.30 pm Sri Lankan time in Geneva today (02).

Held for about 45 minutes total, the meeting has discussed on seeking truth of the Easter Sunday bombing, a massacre that killed more than 270 people three years ago, and justice for the victims.

The matter had also been discussed with His Holiness Pope Francis in the Vatican.

The Cardinal stated that although more than three years have passed since the genocide, there is no confidence in the local administration that justice will be served and emphasised that the matter will be taken to the international arena for justice to be served for the victims.
