Dirco to Continue Engaging Sri Lankan Government Over Forced Muslim Cremations
Dec 24, 2020
Health authorities in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka insist all victims must be cremated even if they are Muslims.
The order issued in April came amid alarm raised by influential Buddhist monks that burying bodies could contaminate groundwater and spread the virus.
In statement, International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor says Deputy Director-General for the Middle East met with the Sri Lankan High Commissioner Designate Sirisena Amarasekara to express concern about the Muslim cremations.
Pandor says the High Commissioner Designate indicated that Sri Lanka is currently experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 and the government had to resort to extreme measures to contain its rapid spread across the country.
