“It does not matter how many years or how many days this suffering goes on. I will never give up searching for Sombath. I will continue my search until I know what happened to Sombath. As long as I am alive, I will never give up my search.”
These are the words of Shui Meng Ng on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the disappearance of her husband, Sombath Somphone, a Lao development worker who was snatched in front of a police station in Vientiane, Laos, on Dec. 15, 2012.
