Vigil for Vithya today

Vigil for Vithya today

A vigil will be held at Independence Square, Colombo today (24), starting at 5.30 pm for the 18-year-old schoolgirl Vithya, who was brutally raped and murdered in Jaffna.

Organizers ask people to join them to show solidarity and to uphold justice in the country for the freedom of women & children.

This is the first time people of the area in Kayts, have got on the streets. Let's show support as 130 of them are held in custody, because they protested against the apathy of the law enforcers, organizer say.

Justice Ministry officials and Minister for Child Affairs, Rosie Senanayake will be present.
