Thousand people are missing and forcibly disappeared in Lebanon. They are Lebanese and residents of Lebanon from all communities and all parts of the country. Most of them are civilians. Many were kidnapped from their homes, from the streets, or at checkpoints controlled by militias or foreign troops. Apart from kidnappings, many people are thought to have disappeared as a result of mass killings and the successive rounds of violence.
This document describes:
