Seven years after coordinated bombings tore through churches and hotels across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday 2019, killing more than 260 people, a court has convicted fifteen men for their roles in enabling the attacks. They were not the bombers themselves, but those who planned, supported, and coordinated the violence — and they now face life sentences, a legal reckoning that affirms justice can be patient even when grief is not. The verdicts mark a significant threshold in accountability, though the full architecture of the conspiracy remains only partially illuminated.
