A Human Rights Watch report accuses security forces and pro-government militias of abducting and "disappearing" hundreds of people since 2006.

Many of the missing are young Tamil men targeted on suspicion of links to Tamil Tiger rebels, HRW says.

Sri Lanka's government says HRW has exaggerated the scale of the problem.

Foreign Secretary Palitha Kohona says there has been a "steady decline in disappearances over the last 12 months" because of new measures taken by the government.

"Unfortunately Human Rights Watch has tended to exaggerate the real situation," Mr Kohona said.

He said the group's "unfair" report was based on unsubstantiated claims and "anecdotal evidence", while the government's own investigations into disappearances were proceeding quickly.

Tens of thousands have died since separatist Tamil Tiger rebels began fighting the Sri Lankan government more than three decades ago.
