International Day of the Disappeared - Prageeth Eknaligoda

We must speak up on behalf of political cartoonist and journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda of Sri Lanka. He went missing on January 24, 2010, shortly after leaving work at his news office. He had told friends in the days leading up to his abduction that he suspected he was being followed. When his wife tried to lodge a complaint the day after he disappeared, she was detained for several hours.
