Dandeniya Gamage Jayanthi
Dandeniya Gamage Jayanthi is a Sri Lankan political activist who focuses on the issue of forced disappearances in the 1980s and '90s.
==Background==
Jayanthi was one of ten children. Her father worked as a carpenter, and she and her siblings had to work throughout their childhood to earn money for their schooling and books.〔
After graduating, Jayanthi went to work in Katunayake, a Free Trade Zone surrounding Colombo's primary airport, Bandaranaike International. There she became engaged to Ranjith Herath, a worker in another factory who had repeatedly petitioned the government over allegedly abuse labor conditions in his plant.〔 Jayanthi later described herself as very unpolitical at this time in her life, wishing only to earn a basic wage and start a family, and she repeatedly scolded Herath for his activism.〔
In 1989, Herath and his friend M. Lonel disappeared on their way to an inquiry with the management of his factory. The pair were found dead on 27 October in Raddoluwa junction, Seeduwa; they had been shot and then their bodies burned.〔〔 One of Jayanthi's brothers was taken by police and shot later that year, and another brother disappeared in August 1990.〔 When Jayanthi made persistent inquiries with police officials, she began to receive death threats and be followed by strangers.〔 She finally chose to go into hiding, where she remained until 1992.
