Around twenty Muslim families, whose loved ones died after being declared positive for COVID-19, have refused to claim the bodies. The state has borne the expenses and cremated these bodies against the wishes of the families. According to the Muslim faith, cremating a dead body of a Muslim is sacrilegious. Yet the Government of Sri Lanka cremates all those who die after being tested positive for Virus. Burning Muslims without consent and against the wishes of their families has caught the eye of the international media. Almost all of the major international networks have reported on this issue.
