Kathmandu - The Nepalese Supreme Court has ordered the government to investigate and make public the whereabouts of hundreds of people missing from the country's communist insurgency, officials said Friday.
The court order came in response to a petition filed by a local human rights organization that said many of the people had been missing for more than a decade.
The court ordered the government to search for 434 people, said Hemanta Rawal, court spokesman.
