Lebanese prison deaths and ongoing strike
A Lebanese detainee has died inside Zahle Prison due to a severe health deterioration, amidst ongoing deaths of prisoners within a 24-hour period. This comes as criticism mounts against the authorities for their negligence in implementing the amnesty law that was signed to alleviate overcrowding and provide proper healthcare for inmates. Lebanese prisons suffer from harsh humanitarian conditions and medical neglect, with the detainee remaining untreated despite his worsening condition. His life could have been saved if the law had been enforced immediately. Meanwhile, more than 400 prisoners at Roumieh Prison are on a hunger strike to demand the activation of the amnesty law, which is delayed by a constitutional challenge to its application, in the context of absent adequate measures to improve prison conditions.
