Go, Read: Progress For Prageeth Eknaligoda

I hadn't thought about the missing Sri Lankan cartoonist/journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda for a few years now, noting the intensity with which family and friends continued to advocate for knowledge about happened to him right before a key national election.

Amazingly, there's been progress in the case brought about by a combination of shifts in national politics and the attention of international agencies. Those that may have caused Eknaligoda to disappear have been identified and an investigation is ongoing with what sounds like a lot of political fortitude in dealing with any fallout.

I continue to wish for the best outcome possible for the family and for the country Eknaligoda obviously felt strongly about that he would put himself to risk in exposing its wrongs.
