Easter attack perpetrators will be punished – Minister

Justice, Prison Affairs and Constitutional Reforms Minister President’s Counsel Dr. Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said those responsible for the Easter Sunday attacks will be punished by the law and justice will be done to all the victims. 

The minister said this while attending the press conference to announce the Cabinet decisions held yesterday (18) at the Government Information Department premises. The minister said that although the Catholic Church is not satisfied with the way this incident was resolved, several fair judgments have been given in this regard, and the Supreme Court has given orders regarding the officers who neglected their duties during the Easter incident, and the steps to be taken in this regard have now been taken.

The minister said that a report containing all the information in this regard has been prepared by the minister in charge of police, and that report will be given to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
