Government / Politics
Spanish term or phrase: detenidos desaparecidos
"...reconociendo las violaciones a los derechos humanos y entregando datos sobre el paradero de los detenidos desaparecidos."

Nuevamente, el contexto es una nota de prensa sobre el juicio a Pinochet.

Sé el enorme peso que tiene la palabra "desaparecidos" en este contexto. El problema es cómo ponerlo en inglés...

¿Alguna ayuda?
Gracias :)

Explanation:
I found in Google several different references. It seems to depend on your context and whether you think there needs to be a hyphen between the words. There are people who disappeared by reason of kidnapping/incarceration and then there were people who disappeared because they were murdered and their bodies disposed of. Then there is (they hyphenated word, referring to) the group of people either detained or disappeared for whom advocacy is undertaken jointly (http://www.warresisters.org/nva0500-3.htm).
