Now Lebanon - Amnesty International sheds light on Lebanese civil war missing people - April 13, 2011

Amnesty International issued a statement on Wednesday announcing a an upcoming report shedding light on the thousands of people who went missing during the 15-year-long Lebanese Civil War that began in 1975.
“The Lebanese authorities must act to investigate the fate of the thousands of people still missing since its brutal civil war, which began 36 years ago this week,” Amnesty International said in the report, which will be published on Thursday.
“The report entitled Never Forgotten: Lebanon’s Missing People highlights how the disappearances have left affected families in a permanent state of limbo, and those responsible unaccountable,” the statement added.
The report will be issued on the anniversary of the Lebanese civil war, which broke out on April 13, 1975.
