Lebanese prisoners mark Day 27 amid controlled strike
Approximately 600 prisoners in Lebanese prisons have been on a continuous strike for the twenty-seventh week, protesting the suspension of the implementation of the general amnesty law. The number of critical health cases among the strikers has risen to 69, with their conditions deteriorating, especially in smaller facilities such as Baalbek Prison, where elderly inmates refuse to go to hospitals despite their worsening health. Some prisoners have faced pressure from prison authorities to end the strike, but the inmates continue their peaceful protest to voice their concerns and demand the application of a humanitarian law that alleviates their injustice. The strikers aim to draw attention to their suffering and garner support for their cause through banners and by reaffirming their commitment to continue their movement until their demand for a general amnesty is met.
