The increasing religious violence taking place on the island was highlighted in a new infographic on “Religious Violence in Post-War Sri Lanka” released by the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) on Tuesday.
“The trends highlighted by CPA have continued unabated, most recently evident in the June 2014 violence in Aluthgama and surrounding areas. Other incidents of violence have not received the same attention as Aluthgama, thereby skewing the understanding of the scale and level of violence targeting minority religions in particular, in Sri Lanka,” said the CPA in a statement.
