The government decided today to allow the burial of Muslim COVID-19 victims after the technical committee appointed in this regard gave clearance, a Minister said today.
The decision follows the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressing concerns over the cremation of dead bodies of Muslims at a high level meeting. OIC Secretary General Yousef Al Othaimeen said the OIC is “concerned on the situation of Muslims in Sri Lanka."
Sri Lanka counts on the support of these countries to defeat a resolution to be moved by the core group of countries led by the United Kingdom.
Earlier, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa announced in Parliament that burials would be allowed.
Later, State Minister Dr. Sudarshani Fernandopulle said it would be referred to the technical committee of experts to take the final decision. (Kelum Bandara)

If as claimed, presently there are only 12 to 15 families in Iranaitheevu as mentioned in another DM feature, it is because the rest who had to flee are not allowed to return. COVID burials there are designed to make the twin island up for more land grabs by chasing everyone away. Tragedy of Errors.
