Sri Lanka has sentenced a former police chief and a defence secretary to death for failing to prevent the coordinated Easter Sunday church bombings in 2019. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 279 people and injured hundreds more.
The sentencing marks a significant judicial response to the tragic events that shocked the nation and the world. The officials were held accountable for their roles in not stopping the bombings that targeted churches across the country.
The 2019 Easter bombings remain one of the deadliest attacks in Sri Lanka's recent history, underscoring the severe consequences of security lapses.
