22 Apr 2019

The National Security Council during an emergency meeting called by President Maithripala Sirirsena has decided to Gazette the anti-terrorism legal clauses to be effective with effect from midnight today. Police and Tri-Forces will be empowered to take effective measures to safeguard the country’s National security. Law enforcement authorities have also been instructed to take every possible action in future to ensure incidents of this magnitude would not repeat. The need to investigate about the organizations responsible for the explosions on Sunday (21), the arrest of terror suspects and those who assisted them, and the imperative need to take effective steps to eliminate such destructive forces were discussed at the meeting. President Sirisena will meet the foreign ambassadors and high commissioners to brief them on the developments and seek international assistance. The intelligence agencies have reported that there were international organizations behind these acts of local terrorists. Hence, it has been decided to seek international assistance for investigations. The President has instructed the security forces to provide additional security to all the Catholic churches. He also instructed the police, Tri-Forces and Defence Ministry to take the current developments into serious consideration and take all the required steps. Meanwhile, police curfew has been imposed from 8.00 p.m. today to 4.00 a.m. tomorrow. (Sarah Hannan)
