Now Lebanon - Families of Roumieh prisoners block airport road - April 4, 2011

NOW Lebanon’s correspondent reported on Monday that families of some of the inmates of Roumieh Prison blocked Beirut’s airport road with burning tires.
The move follows protests earlier in the day in the prison, during which inmates reportedly started fires and captured an Internal Security Forces officer.
A riot broke out in Roumieh Prison on Saturday when prisoners began protesting cell searches. The disobedience ended on Sunday after successful negotiations with the prisoners.
