Sri Lanka ends cremation-only policy to allow Muslims bury Covid-19 victims

Sri Lanka ends cremation-only policy to allow Muslims bury Covid-19 victims 1 minute read Colombo, Feb 26 (efe-epa).- Sri Lanka has ended its controversial policy of forcibly cremating Covid-19 victims that banned minorities, including Muslims, from burying their dead in line with their religious norms. The decision to ban the burial of those who die because of the coronavirus had sparked international criticism and various anti-government protests. On Friday night, the government said it was amending its Covid-19 gazette notification issued in April last year. The new notification substitutes the words “cremation of corpse” to “cremation or burial of the corpse.”
