While many people around the world celebrate the day as ‘Valentine’s Day’, families of the disappeared in Sri Lanka mark the day in memory of their family members and seek answers about their love ones. Hundreds of family members of enforced disappeared persons from several parts of Sri Lanka are gathering in Colombo on Friday to commemorate their missing family members, and demand justice, truth and reparation by marching towards the Prime Minister’s residence and the Presidential Secretariat . According to the Amnesty International, Sri Lanka has one of the world’s highest number of enforced disappearances, with a backlog of between 60,000 and 100,000 disappearances since the late 1980s.  EPA/CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE
