ISLAMABAD:
In response to Supreme Court's order summoning seven missing persons, the defence ministry on Tuesday brought five of them, Express News reported.
The missing persons will soon be presented before Justice Ejaz Afzal for an in-camera session in room 6 of the court.
The apex court is hearing a case about the recovery of 35 disappeared persons, who have been missing since December 2012 after the military authorities allegedly took their custody from an internment centre in Malakand.
On February 25, the Supreme Court had ordered that seven of those 35 missing persons should be presented before the bench.
The court had earlier said there was documentary evidence that these 35 persons were picked up by the army.
