While it has been four years since the end of civil war between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers, the repression and murders of those days are still unresolved issues for many working class communities in Sri Lanka. With the government still taking very repressive actions against protesters and dissidents, the fight for justice for the disappeared in Sri Lanka is not an easy one. It is for this reason that this year’s commemoration for the disappeared was important for working class activists in Sri Lanka.
