Amnesty Int'l urges action on Civil War missing

BEIRUT: Amnesty International said Tuesday that the remains of kidnapped British journalist Alec Collett recovered last week “once again draws attention to the need for concerted action to reveal the fate of thousands of Lebanese, Palestinians and others who were abducted during the 1975-90 Civil War.” Amnesty added that the recovery of the journalist’s remains “draws into sharp relief the inadequacy of efforts by the Lebanese authorities to reveal the fate and whereabouts of the thousands … who were abducted by various armed militias or subjected to enforced disappearance by Lebanese, Syrian and Israeli forces during the Civil War.” – The Daily Star
