Cardinal addresses Human Rights Council in Geneva

Date:

Archbishop of Colombo His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith addressing the 49th Assembly of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, Switzerland called on the Council and all its member states to foster a proper mechanism to ensure the impartiality of Sri Lanka’s investigations into the Easter Sunday Massacre which took away more than 270 lives three years ago.

Although it was pictured to be a mere terrorist attack by Islam Extremists during the initial observations into the event, later it was made clear that this was part of a wider and carefully planned political conspiracy, the Cardinal emphasised.

He added that civil movements were calling for the truth to be uncovered but the government was failing to serve justice for the victims of the genocide.
