Pre-school holds vigil for Zion church victims

The victims of the Easter Sunday bombings at the Zion church in Batticaloa were remembered last week by a local pre-school. 

Over 250 people were killed when Islamist extremist suicide bombers attacked luxury hotels in the capital, as well as churches in Batticaloa, Negombo and Colombo. 

Twenty-nine people were killed at the Zion church in Batticaloa, including 14 children who had gathered with their families to attend the service. 


 

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
