Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, archbishop of Colombo, talks about the result of the investigation into the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings

Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith said that there is evidence that Sri Lankan officials had advance warning of the attacks but “did nothing”

“They knew beforehand from information they had gathered and also from warnings ... but they did nothing."

Cardinal Ranjith of Colombo said investigations “indicate that this massacre was part of a grand political plot”

The bishops said they are "appalled" at the apparent failure of the government to bring out justice

Cardinal Ranjith of Colombo earlier said the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka would work with the Vatican to help find justice for the victims

The Catholic prelate said he has no faith left in the government and the country’s attorney general to probe the 2019 Easter blasts

They were accused of failing to act on warnings of an imminent attack given by foreign intelligence agencies

The incidents took place ahead of the UN Human Rights Council session this month that “might adversely affect Sri Lanka internationally”

"We want to have answers in this country, but for three years it has been increasingly difficult”
