Lebanese Prisons see Second Death and Ongoing Strike

A detainee in the Zahle prison in Lebanon has passed away after their health deteriorated, marking the second death within 24 hours and the fifth in the past month, according to the Prisoners' Families Committee. The detainee, who had been held without trial for 12 years, suffered from severe medical neglect; they remained lying in the prison pharmacy for more than half an hour without receiving immediate treatment. The suspension of the general amnesty law, which could have helped save their life, due to the constitutional challenge filed by MP Jebran Bassil, has worsened the prison conditions and increased the number of deaths. In a separate development, prisoners in Roumieh Prison continue their strike for the fourth consecutive day in protest against the suspension of the amnesty law and the reduction of sentences, amid anticipation of a decision from the Constitutional Council.
