He did not return home from work on January 24, 2010 and she alleges that the Sri Lankan government had something to do with it. Prageeth wrote and drew for Lankaenews.com – a website that was critical of the government. She is now appealing to the United Nations to apply pressure on Sri Lanka to divulge any information on the case.
