Missed It: Prageeth Ekneligoda Now Missing 1000 Days

The cartoonist and journalist Prageeth Ekneligoda has been missing for 1000 days, according to a renewed press for answers by the family that has made a few international wire reports. Ekneligoda went missing in early 2010 on the eve of a hotly-contested election into which he had inserted some strong political commentary; the weeks following the disappearance were riddled with lost opportunities to better pursue the incident as an actual, active investigation. Wife Sandiya Ekneligoda again called for the UN to intervene. A story that authorities shared that they believe the missing man left the country emerges in that linked-to story; first I'd heard that one, it was later retracted.
