An international rights group is urging Pakistan’s new government to investigate the disappearance of hundreds of people allegedly at the hands of its security agencies.

Pakistan Supreme Court judges investigating the disappearances were swept from their posts when President Pervez Musharraf imposed of emergency rule last year.

Amnesty International on Wednesday urged Musharraf’s opponents in the new coalition government to immediately reveal the whereabouts of the missing persons and bring some relief to their families.

In a new report, the group also presses authorities to restore the purged judges, investigate all cases and hold accountable those responsible, including in Pakistan’s feared intelligence service.
