A petition to the Canadian Government against mandated cremation of Covid 19 bodies in SL

The citizens of Canada of Sri Lankan origin has petitioned to the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament against making the cremation of the deceased due to Covid 19 mandatory.

1336 Canadian citizens have signed this petition so far and it is mentioned in the petition that the Government of Sri Lanka mandated an exclusive cremation order on all deceased persons attributed to the Covid 19 virus and that this order has been arbitrarily introduced, with no scientific evidence, and is contrary to the guidelines issued by the WHO.

They call upon the Government of Canada to communicate via formal channels and request the Sri Lankan Government to honor the religious and cultural sentiments of Muslim and Christian minority communities by restoring them the basic human right of burial of victims of Covid 19 within the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).
