Rumm prison reports another death
The death of prisoner Binyamin Zaiter has been announced at Roumieh Prison due to a health condition, bringing the total number of fatalities in Lebanese prisons since the enactment of the general amnesty law to seven. Zaiter suffered from kidney failure and required specialized medical care, but the prison administration did not respond promptly to provide the necessary medical assistance. Around 530 prisoners have been on a hunger strike and abstaining from medication for the nineteenth consecutive day, with the health of some deteriorating to 51 critical cases. They are demanding the activation of the general amnesty law and an end to their suffering. The cases of death and worsening conditions are attributed to the authorities' ongoing refusal to meet the prisoners' demands, amidst a tragic humanitarian situation in Lebanese prisons.
