Embilipitiya Disappeared Schoolchildren’s Parents’ Organisation (EDSCPO) Fonds
This archive of the EDSCPO consists of documents from 1990-2018 collected by the secretary of the organization, S.H.C. de Silva (1939-2021). The EDSCPO was established in 1991 to investigate the abduction of 48 teenage schoolboys who were detained, tortured, and disappeared at the Sevana Army Camp from 1989-1990. The records include newspaper clippings, correspondence, official reports, leaflets, booklets, scrapbooks, court documents, and more. The collection was digitized and is stewarded by HistoricalDialogue.lk, which composed a guide to the historical event and archived fonds. Of the total collection, five investigative reports and one court judgment have been uploaded to view online.
