A 45-year-old individual died of stab wounds in Kurunegala District in North Western Province of Sri Lanka, reports The Hindu on May 14. On the same day, Police arrested dozens and remanded nearly 30 persons in connection with anti-Muslim attacks in at least three Districts. According to Police Spokesperson Ruwan Gunasekara, Amith Weerasinghe of Mahason Balakaya, a Sinhala-Buddhist group; and Namal Kumara, a self-declared anti-corruption activist were arrested in connection with the violence. Newsin Asia further adds that security experts described the anti-Muslim violence as being “serious” especially because violence had taking place while the curfew was on. Many Muslim houses, business premises and vehicles were vandalized. Violence against Muslims houses and businesses began in Negombo, a Christian area, north of Colombo.
