Sri Lankan police are standing guard at the St. Anthony's Shrine in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 29, 2024. The Maligakanda Magistrate's Court is ordering former President Maitripala Sirisena to make a statement in court on April 4 regarding his statements about the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, which caused uproar as he claimed to know the true planners. According to government officials, security is being provided for 1,959 churches for Good Friday services and 2,239 Catholic churches for Easter Sunday services, including some churches that are not holding services.
