Tenth day of Roumieh strike prompts calls for aid
More than 400 prisoners at Roumieh Prison entered their tenth consecutive day of hunger strike in protest against the suspension of the general amnesty law during the session of the judicial challenge filed by MPs from the "Free Patriotic Movement." Through the strike, the prisoners aim to pressure the Constitutional Council to approve the amnesty law, considering it a correction of the course of justice. The health situation of the inmates is deteriorating, with more than 23 cases now in critical condition, in addition to the emergence of a new wave of tuberculosis within the prison, discovered during medical examinations. The detainees face harsh conditions, which have led to the death of five of them since the law was approved about a month ago. There are warnings of worsening health conditions, accompanied by statements from prisoners' rights organizations calling for the swift implementation of the amnesty law to save lives.
