On April 1, Catholic Bishop and human rights activist Reverend Rayappu Joseph passed away at the age of 80. Four days later, he was laid to rest at the St. Sebastian Cathedral in the Tamil-dominated northern region of Mannar in Sri Lanka, his funeral attended by a large number of people with many religious and political affiliations. Who was he and why is he highly revered among Tamils in Sri Lanka and among the diaspora?
Born on April 16, 1940 on Delft Island (Neduntheevu) in northern Sri Lanka, he served in the Diocese of Mannar from 1992-2016 and as the vice president of the Sri Lankan Catholic Bishop Conference.
