The missing include the country's former interior minister, a journalist, a senior legislator, and a businessman. A panel of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly unanimously adopted a report charging that people "at the highest level of the state" acted to cover up the disappearances.
The report calls for the "maximum political pressure" -- including sanctions and outside criminal actions under the principle of universal jurisdiction -- to force Belarus leaders to investigate the disappearances.
