More than 20 years after the end of the Lebanese civil war, nearly 17,000 people are still missing. More than 150,000 people died in the conflict between 1975 and 1990, which devastated the country overrun by militias vying for power. On Wednesday this week, a new initiative was launched by a Lebanese rights group called "Act for the Disappeared". The group'svice-president, Lynn Maalouf, explains.
