Sri Lankan Christians cry for justice amid anarchy

In a worsening climate of impunity as Sri Lanka falls into civil war, Buddhist militants have continued their campaign against Christianity, attacking churches and threatening Christian schools.
Christians in Sri Lanka are calling for help from the international community following a rapid deterioration of law and order in the past week.
The plea follows an attack last Wednesday (November 8) by the Sri Lankan armed forces on refugees sheltered at a school in Kathiraveli, a coastal town in the eastern district of Batticaloa. The army reportedly fired multi-barrel rockets and artillery shells at the school, killing 60 civilians and wounding over 600.
Aid workers say they have recovered 40 bodies, including those of six babies from 3 to 6 months old.
The Rt. Rev. Duleep Chickera, Bishop of Colombo, said the attack on people who had already been forced to flee their homes has sent shock waves through the nation.

You can not misguide and cheat people all the time, when they realize the truth, they break away. |

'United we stand, devided we fall'
In Sri Lanka : Relegious Division, Racial division, Political division, Cast division, Class division are a way of life. In Relegious Division the budhists are again devided among the Nikayas according to Cast Division even the color of the robes are different according to the Nikayas. With so much of divisions and fisticuffs between the various divisions. Sri Lanka will never achieve peace. |
