Not good. I should say on the extreme Buddhist group I mentioned, so far the attacks have largely been against the Muslim community. They've been sporadic; it's not like it's a daily thing. There's been a campaign launched against halal in the country and against the eating of meat, which hasn't traditionally been a big issue in Sri Lanka. So it appears to be manipulated to isolate the Muslim community who certainly feel under siege.
But the fact that this is happening and the government is taking insufficient steps to distance itself from it or to address it is not a positive sign for reconciliation. I'll just give you one quick example. In one, a mob attacked a Muslim business. I believe it was some kind of a clothing factory. There was film footage of the people leading the attack.
The issue in the press...because there were huge demonstrations, then, against what had happened and people were demanding a criminal inquiry. The government's response was to say, “Oh, no, the family that owns this factory have come forward and they've said they have forgiven the people who led the attack,” as if criminal law were dependent upon the personal act of forgiveness. The manipulation of the legal process in that case was quite clear and it's quite worrying in terms of the broader reconciliation.
