Mutthan, 68, lives in Kilinochchi district. His son Rathaishwaran was kidnapped by the LTTE and taken to the front line to fight. Later he was caught by the Sinhalese army. What happened to him after that is unclear. Mutthan is still looking for him. ‘My son was kidnapped by the LTTE in June 2008 and taken to the frontline to fight, in the Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi districts,’ he says. ‘Two months after his disappearance I was told that he had been injured in the leg and taken to a secret hospital. When the war was over I started looking for him’
