'I will not rest until I find Prageeth' – Sandya Ekneligoda
Journalist, cartoonist and political activist Prageeth Ekneligoda was abducted on the 24th of January 2010, a day before Sri Lanka’s presidential election. The subsequent police investigation has made no progress for almost two and half years and no information has yet surfaced about his disappearance. Prageeth’s wife Sandya Ekneligoda has been fighting relentlessly to find him since day one. In a country where abductions and disappearances have become a daily occurrence, Sandya has become a courageous beacon in the struggle for justice.
“On 24 January 2010 he was not home even by 9.30.p.m. I called his mobile phone and could not get through as it was continuously disconnected. I panicked fearing that he is in trouble” she recalled in an interview with the JDS. “I found out in the morning that Prageeth has called a friend around 8.30pm the day before. That is the final concrete information received about Prageeth."
