Who are Sri Lanka's disappeared?

Sri Lanka's civil war is officially over, but people are still being "disappeared" - vanishing without a trace, often, allegedly, in the state's unmarked "white vans."

After Iraq, Sri Lanka has the highest number of enforced disappearances in the world, the United Nations has said.

The latest report from the UN's working group on enforced or involuntary disappearances, set up in 1980, says that there are 5,676 outstanding cases of enforced disappearances, though the actual number of disappeared could be much higher.
