Francis Joseph, also known as Father Francis, is a Catholic Tamil priest. He disappeared along with hundreds of Sri Lankan Tamils when they surrendered to the Sri Lankan army on 18 May 2009. They crossed the Vattuvagal bridge from LTTE-held areas and crossed into Sri Lanka government-held area, boarded army buses, and were never seen again.
