No News Equals Bad News For Missing Sri Lankan Cartoonist, Journalist

The BBC has an update on the journalist and cartoonist Prageeth Eknaligoda, which is distressing for its almost complete lack of new news. His wife is still pressing for a greater police effort, and the police are still denying that there's much to be done at this point. Eknaligoda went missing a couple of days before the country's recent election. His news organization was subsequently shut down and widespread abuses against the press in the days following the election followed. Although the article doesn't mention them I don't think, there are medication issues involved with the missing person that might also have come to bear.
