Everyone connected to Easter Sunday attacks should be given death sentence:Sri Lankan President

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena continued with his rhetoric on the issue of death sentence saying that everyone connected to the Easter Sunday attacks should be given death sentence as there was clear evidence against them.

Addressing a programme last afternoon, President everyone connected to the attacks were arrested and investigations are still continuing.

He said punishments should be implemented to create a good society adding that it will reduce wrongdoings in a society.

President Sirisena has taken a tough stand against drug dealers and ordered execution of death penalty for four accused.

The move was opposed by human rights and several western nations followed by a court ruling to defer the execution till October.
