Daily Star - SOLIDE seeks commission on fate of disappeared, April 12, 2012


BEIRUT: Support of Lebanese in Detention and Exile (SOLIDE) said Wednesday that families of the Lebanese detained in Syria are waiting for Parliament’s approval of a proposal to establish a national commission to reveal their relatives’ fate.
Speaking during a news conference outside the ESCWA building in Downtown Beirut, SOLIDE founder Ghazi Aad said he would also hand the proposal to Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s government for approval.
“I hope through the momentum this movement has built in the past seven years, we will reach to a solution to the problem of Lebanese who have forcibly disappeared,” said Aad.
“This commission ensures an effective work plan to reach a solution to this problem that would allow giving clear and detailed answers about the fate of the victims of the forcibly disappeared,” Aad added. According to official figures, some 17,415 Lebanese went missing during the 1975-1990 Civil War.
