斯里兰卡一家法院周二裁定15人在2019年复活节爆炸案中有罪,该案造成260多人死亡、约500人受伤,是该国历史上最致命的袭击事件之一。由三名法官组成的合议庭裁定14名被告所有罪名成立,包括谋杀、密谋实施恐怖主义,以及根据《预防恐怖主义法》非法持有枪支和爆炸物。第15名被告部分罪名成立,另有九名被告被无罪释放。

此次判决是在长达约五年的审判之后作出的。受“伊斯兰国”启发的爆炸袭击于2019年4月21日复活节礼拜和庆祝活动期间,针对斯里兰卡三座教堂和三家酒店发动,遇难者既有礼拜信众也有游客,其中包括42名外国公民。此案所有被告均为斯里兰卡少数族裔穆斯林。对被定罪者的量刑将在稍后日期宣布。

爆炸事件重创了全岛社区,并引发了全面的安全整肃、高级官员辞职,以及多年来对情报失误的审查——正是这些失误让袭击计划在事先已有警示的情况下仍得以实施。周二的裁决标志着袭击发生以来最重要的司法里程碑之一,不过许多遇难者家属表示,他们仍在寻求就袭击前的安全漏洞追究更广泛的责任。
