The European Union has expressed deep concerns on the recent spate of attacks on communities and called for the government to take urgent action against hate crimes while ensuring that all perpetrators of such actions are swiftly brought to justice.
The statement by the EU ambassadors in Sri Lanka is as follows;
"The recent attacks on communities are very worrying. It is important that the Government and the security forces take urgent action against hate crimes and ensure that the perpetrators of such actions are swiftly brought to justice. It is vital that all political leaders, religious and other community leaders condemn violence and make every effort to promote understanding and harmony between communities. The EU trusts that any actions taken under the State of Emergency will be proportionate and respect constitutional rights and freedoms."
