Syria-Lebanon, Politics, 2/17/2006

Syria handed over Thursday the Higher Commission for Human Rights in the Arab Region a list of Syrians lost in Lebanon.

Chairman of the Civil Committee for Syrians Lost in Lebanon, Faysal Kouthoum, turned over the list to Coordinator of the Arab Region in the Higher Commission for Human Rights, Faraj Fneish, and called the commission to aid in revealing destiny of Syrians lost in Lebanon as well enable the committee to follow up the issue before the Lebanese judiciary.

Some of those lost are liquidated or arrested in a coercive way by heads of some armed Lebanese militia and those who have become chairmen for many Lebanese parties or officials in the Lebanese state, Koulthoum said when he met Fenish today.

Koulthoum also gave Fenish copies of notes the committee directed to the Lebanese prime minister and the Arab Lawyers Federation on the subject and the two sides agreed to follow up the issue.
