A Sri Lankan court has delivered convictions against fifteen individuals linked to the deadly Easter Sunday bombings in 2019, a series of coordinated attacks that resulted in the deaths of 279 people. The verdicts mark a significant legal milestone in the country’s efforts to hold accountable those responsible for one of its most devastating terrorist incidents. Authorities have long sought justice for the mass casualty event, which targeted churches and hotels across the island nation. The convictions follow years of investigations into the extremist group behind the attacks.
