Rifi proposes draft law on prison overcrowding
MP Ashraf Rifi announced that he is preparing a legislative proposal to address the Lebanese prisons overcrowding crisis, where the current number of inmates exceeds 8,600—surpassing the prisons' capacity, which ranges between 3,500 and 4,000. The situation has worsened due to the transfer of detainees during the war. The proposed law aims to reduce tensions and provide legal and humanitarian solutions by amending rulings and shortening sentence durations, with the goal of decreasing the prison population and promoting national stability.
