The British Tamils Forum (BTF) strongly condemns this evil act in Churches and Hotels across Sri Lanka on a holy day of Easter Sunday. We are deeply shocked and saddened to hear that over 190 people were killed and many more injured at this terrible premeditated attack today.

We call on the Sri Lanka Government to establish an investigation with the international community to find the perpetrators of these evil acts. The perpetrators of this crime should be brought to justice unlike other crimes committed with impunity against ethnic and religious communities in the recent past in Sri Lanka.

At this moment in time, our prayers and thoughts are with victims, their families and friends.

We are confident that all people will have come forward to provide any assistance to the victims and their families.
