Ekneligoda Family Asks Sri Lankan Court To Present Long-Missing Cartoonist

The family of missing Sri Lankan cartoonist Prageeth Ekneligoda has apparently asked the Court Of Appeal to produce the missing family patriarch, who disappeared many believe for reasons pertaining to the politics of a presidential election. The wife and two children of the cartoonist filed against a number of officials as well as the court asking for the missing man to be presented. I have no idea what this means exactly: it's unclear to me if the family really believes that Ekneligoda is being held somewhere, or if this is a spur to get the official police investigation restarted and headed towards whatever official conclusion reality dictates. It's heartbreaking to see, though, and it's hard not to admire how passionate and firm the family has been in holding civic authorities to the task of resolving this situation.
