Now Lebanon - Baroud: Roumieh Prison fully under police control - April 6, 2011

Interior Minister Ziad Baroud said on Wednesday that the situation at the Roumieh Prison is “fully under control.”
“The Lebanese army and Internal Security Forces made a joint operation, after which they gained full control of the prison,” Baroud told OTV.
He said that the security forces were keen on not causing any injuries or casualties among the prisoners in the Roumieh compound.
“An investigation into the events that transpired at the prison was launched,” the minister said, voicing hope that the investigation’s results would be announced soon.
He also said that he conveyed the inmates’ demands for being granted an official pardon to Speaker Nabih Berri.
“The pardon issue is a matter that concerns the parliament.”
Security forces stormed Roumieh Prison on Tuesday after talks failed to secure the release of three guards detained by inmates who have been demanding an amnesty and better conditions.
