Relatives of victims who were massacred at the Easter Sunday terrorist attack three years ago remembered their loved ones with special prayers and reiterated their demand for justice.
Special prayers were held at St Anthony's church, Kochchikade, Zion church in Batticaloa and
St. Sebastian's Church, Katuwapitiya to commemorate the victims.
At least 270 persons including 45 foreign nationals were killed and over 500 individuals injured in the terrorist attacks carried out by ISIS-inspired suicide bombers. Protests demanding justice for the victims even after three years passed since the attack were held in many parts of the country including the ongoing 'Go Gota Home' protest at Galle Face Green.
