Actors Back Appeal For Information On Remaining Disappeared
An appeal for information by the families of the Disappeared, 17 people murdered and secretly buried by republican paramilitaries, has been backed by Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt.
To date, searches have uncovered the bodies of 10 of the victims, with the whereabouts of the seven others still unknown.
A 'day of reflection' is being held today (Friday) to commemorate the victims, and also coincides with the launch of a new book, The Disappeared Of Northern Ireland's Troubles, which collects the personal stories of 14 of the families.
