I would like to express my deepest condolence with Sri Lanka and its people and bereaved families of victims of brutality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWords can\u2019t express how saddened I am to hear of the loss of precious lives and hundreds of those injured. Sri Lanka is still mourning the loss and we stand by the people of Sri Lanka and my thoughts go out to grieving families of those beloved and killed in the devastating Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka and are with their countless well-wishers from around the world. I wish Sri Lanka a speedy recovery for those who are wounded and those who were affected, directly or indirectly, by the blasts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI avail myself of this opportunity to reaffirm the strong feelings of solidarity from AVC and the whole Asian volleyball family with Sri Lanka Volleyball Federation, Sri Lanka and its people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AVC President<br \/>\nDr Saleh A.
