Next to the last stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War, forced cremation of corpses of Covid victims in Sri Lanka has received much publicity, internationally. With the request of our government to the Maldives to accept the bodies of Muslims who succumbed to Covid-19 for burial there, the issue received much worldwide publicity. It has now reached as far as UNHRC, and now it is part of the core issue of the UNHRC resolution to be tabled against Sri Lanka. Forced cremation of bodies of Muslim Covid victims has hurt the religious sentiments of the Muslims living here, and all over the world. Many human rights organisations, such as the Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and UN bodies, like the WHO and the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, have appealed to the Sri Lankan government to allow burial. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the second most influential body next to UN General Assembly, also pleaded with the Sri Lankan government to allow the burial of bodies of Muslim Covid victims, as there was no scientific evidence to support burial-transmitted Covid-19; but the Sri Lankan government, to date, has not given two hoots about it.
