Seven years after coordinated suicide bombings shattered Easter Sunday across Sri Lanka's churches and hotels, a court has found fifteen men guilty of orchestrating the attacks that killed more than three hundred people.

Justice, when it comes after such grief, does not undo the loss; it marks, instead, a society's insistence that such acts carry consequence.
