The body of a prominent Sri Lankan human rights activist missing since February last year has been found, the United Nations said Friday.
Pattani Razeek, managing trustee of non-governmental organisation the Community Trust Fund, was exhumed by police on Thursday after a tip-off from two suspects arrested in relation to the case, the UN said.

Bizarrely, Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, urged Sri Lanka's authorities to "expedite" investigations and prosecute those involved in the crime.
Whom does she think ordered Razeek’s killing?
"We hope that similar progress will be made in uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of several thousand individuals both during and since Sri Lanka’s conflict," she also said.
