Easter Sunday attacks: Church receives entire PCoI report, vows to continue struggle for justice

By Norman Palihawadane

The Catholic Church yesterday vowed that its quest for justice for the victims of the Easter Sunday carnage would continue until the real culprits were brought before justice.

Bishop of Kurunegala and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, His Eminence Harold Anthony, said that the Minister of Public Security Tiran Alles had given him all volumes of the report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI), which investigated the Easter Sunday terror attacks.

It was too early to comment on the report, His Eminence Harold Anthony told The Island, adding that soon its content would be made public.

Minister Alles told the media that the entire PCoI report had been handed over to Bishop Anthony Perera on the instructions of President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
