Roma Prison Strike Hits Day Ten
The Rihaniya Prison has been on an open hunger strike for ten days, involving over 400 prisoners protesting the suspension of the general amnesty law following the appeal filed by deputies from the Free Patriotic Movement. The health conditions of several inmates have deteriorated, with some requiring emergency transfer to hospitals. There have been more than 23 cases of severe exhaustion, along with increasing incidents of nervous breakdowns (criza) due to the denial of medication and the psychological stress caused by awaiting the fate of the law. Additionally, the Lebanese Prisoners’ Rights Observatory has reported the outbreak of tuberculosis within the prison, with multiple cases discovered incidentally. The prisoners are demanding, through banners and statements, compassion from the relevant authorities and the urgent enactment of a comprehensive amnesty law as a step to correct the course of justice, warning of the worsening of their physical and mental health conditions.
