Six years after thousands of people in Sri Lanka were murdered during government purge of suspected revolutionaries, the relatives of the victims are demanding that the killers be brought to justice. During the period of terror, men and boys were taken from their homes to army camps where they were held and then, it is believed, shot. Reporter George Arney visits one such former camp, and joins a group of relatives as they confront police officers with allegations that the bodies of several young men who "disappeared" in the crackdown are buried in the police station grounds.

Plus Edward Stourton looks back on the Mitterrand era as the first round of the French presidential elections gets under way. And David Walter presents an engaging profile of Dom Duarte, a descendant of the Portuguese royal family who would like to be king of Portugal - a republic for most of the century. Dom Duarte claims he can trace his ancestry through 800 years of monarchy, and shares many of the interests of Prince Charles: he cares for the environment, enjoys organic farming and has strong views on modern architecture.
