According to the information received, on 15 June 2014, a protest rally instigated by Bodu Bala Sena, an extremist Buddhist group, turned violent as its supporters moved in procession through Muslim neighbourhoods, allegedly chanting anti-Muslim and racial slogans. Muslim-owned homes, shops and mosques were reportedly attacked and some set ablaze by mobs carrying poles and other weapons. Despite a curfew and deployment of police, violence apparently continued into the night as Muslim homes and properties were targeted in nearby Beruwala, Welipenna, and Dharga. Reportedly, four people were killed and about 80 others injured. The latest incident was not an isolated one; during the last two years there have been documented reports of more than 350 incidents of violent attacks on Muslims and more than 150 incidents of violent attacks against Christians. Serious concern is raised at the risk of eruption of further violence against religious minorities.
