Sri Lanka's Silent Tsunami
Decades of civil war in Sri Lanka has seen tens of thousands of political arrests. Only in Saddam's Iraq have more people disappeared. Frustrated by disinterested authorities, relatives of the missing are growing desperate.
Visika Dharmadasa has not heard from her soldier son since he went missing in 1998. Visika has staunchly rejected the temptation of traditional witch-doctor methods to bring him back. Instead she is bringing together the mothers of the missing from both sides of the fighting "to pray for peace and answers, and learn from each other". She hopes to bring a "sustainable peace" out of their pain.
