A court in Sri Lanka has convicted 14 people in connection with the deadly Easter Sunday bombings, one of the country's worst terrorist attacks.
The coordinated attacks, which targeted churches and hotels during Easter celebrations, killed hundreds of people and injured many others, causing widespread shock both in Sri Lanka and around the world.
According to prosecutors, the convicted individuals were found guilty of offences linked to planning, supporting or assisting those responsible for carrying out the attacks. The court handed down sentences following a lengthy investigation and legal proceedings.
The Easter bombings raised serious concerns about intelligence failures and national security in Sri Lanka, leading to multiple inquiries and reforms aimed at preventing similar attacks in the future.
Families of the victims have continued to call for full accountability and justice, while authorities say investigations into all aspects of the attacks remain ongoing.
