Sri Lanka: Abduction island | 101 East

Sri Lanka has used abductions as a way to instil fear since the days of civil war. The conflict is now over, but critics say authorities are still kidnapping citizens who speak out. In the last three decades, 60,000 people have gone missing. This small island nation has one of the highest number of unsolved disappearances in the world. Now the government is setting up the Office of Missing Persons to investigate and give reparations. Will the families left behind finally get answers about what happened to their loved ones? On this episode, 101 East investigates Sri Lanka’s enforced disappearances.
