Lebanese inmates continue strike over amnesty appeal
The strike by inmates at Rummeyah Central Prison in Lebanon, which has been ongoing for nine days, has entered a tense escalation phase with continued hunger and thirst strikes and demands for the activation of the general amnesty law. The prisoners are threatening to carry out a comprehensive strike if the law is overturned after the legal challenge submitted against it, which could lead to a humanitarian and social explosion within the prisons. Despite reassurances that the situation is under control, the deteriorating health condition of the prisoners, especially those with chronic illnesses, raises significant concerns, along with warnings that protests may expand and tensions could escalate if delays persist in implementing the amnesty law.
