Ms Ramberg added:
‘Further, the WHO guidance states,
“the dignity of the dead, their cultural and religious traditions, and their families should be respected and protected throughout. ”
So, coupled with
no scientific basis to deny individuals’ autonomy on how to manage the death of a family member, we call on Sri Lanka to reverse the enforced cremation policy and ensure the individual’s right to freedom of religion is upheld.’ ....

Baby Shaykh was only 20 days old when his life came to a tragic end last December out of a sudden illness. Born in a Muslim family in Sri Lanka, his last rites would be a burial followed by a funeral but instead, authorities cremated his body against the wishes of his parents. A rapid test for COVID-19 (an antigen test) returned positive, yet his parents, including his mother who was breast feeding him, tested negative. This has created doubts in his parents’ mind about the credibility of the test. The authorities had no sympathy for the desperate pleas and protests of Baby Shaykh’s parents. The bodies of Muslims who die or are suspected of having died of COVID-19 are resigned to the same fate across Sri Lanka. ....
