Missing persons group demands long-awaited report

The Follow-up Committee of Relatives of Missing Persons reminded the government Monday that it had failed to issue a promised report on the missing.
The group, which had held a meeting to mark the International Human Rights Day, said that the report, which was expected in June, had been twice delayed.
The committee slammed the government for “not taking the trouble of contacting the group and not issuing a statement six months after it promised to do so.”
The committee called on the state to “speed up” the report.
The majority of the missing are believed by their relatives to be held in Syria. But Damascus has always denied their presence on Syrian territory.
