Roumieh strike reaches 17 days
Approximately 400 inmates at Roumieh Prison have been on an open hunger strike for the seventeenth week, protesting the suspension of the general amnesty law. The prisoners reported that the number of critical cases has risen to 46, as their health deteriorates and their anger increases. Meanwhile, officials have responded to their protests with indifference, repeatedly transferring some detainees to hospitals. The prisoners warned that the humanitarian crisis inside the prison is worsening, considering that prisons have become "gallows," and called for the suspension of the suspension of the general amnesty law. A human rights report from the ACHR Center in Paris also indicated that the suspension of the law exacerbates the humanitarian and legal suffering of the detainees, urging a fundamental solution to the violations within Lebanese detention centers, along with calls for independent monitoring to ensure accountability.
