Kasthuri Patto's Quotes on on the suspected suicide bombing at a church in Makassar, Indonesia, today.

QUOTES: From Kasthuri Patto, a member of ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR), on the suspected suicide bombing at a church in Makassar, Indonesia, today.

"We are deeply saddened by the suspected suicide bomb attacks outside a Catholic church in Makassar, Indonesia, which occurred just before the Sunday Mass was ending today, on the first day of the Holy Easter week."

"This outrageous act appears aimed at destroying religious harmony in Indonesia. We urge authorities to thoroughly investigate the crime and hold the perpetrators accountable."

"Acts of violence must never be met with violence. As Christians enter the holy week all over the world, I call upon ASEAN and its leaders to reject all forms of violence targeting people of faith and be defenders of peace, harmony, mercy and compassion."
