Honolulu Hale to display Sri Lanka’s colors in solidarity with victims of Easter bombings

Sri Lanka’s flag

Honolulu – Mayor Kirk Caldwell has requested the colors of Sri Lanka’s flag to shine on Honolulu Hale from the evening of Monday, April 22 through the evening of Friday, April 26 to express solidarity with the victims of the bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday that killed at least 290 people and injured many others.



“Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who lost loved ones in Sunday’s horrific attacks, and those who were injured,” said Mayor Caldwell. “Much like the 9/11 attacks here in this country, these bombings are not only a national tragedy for the people of Sri Lanka, but for the entire world. What is especially appalling is that innocent worshippers were targeted on such an important day in their faith. There is no place for such hatred in our world and we all need to stand together and speak out in the strongest terms possible against such atrocities.”
