Now Lebanon - Rifi: No injuries in Roumieh Prison incident - April 3, 2011

Internal Security Forces Director General Achraf Rifi said in an interview published on Sunday that no one was injured during the Roumieh Prison incident.
“The demonstrators [in Roumieh Prison] did not take any hostages,” he told An-Nahar newspaper.
Rifi said the inmates have demands which we will listen to and work to implement them if they are rightful.
“If the matter, however, develops into a riot, we will intervene.”
NOW Lebanon’s correspondent reported on Saturday that a riot broke out in Roumieh Prison when prisoners began protesting cell searches.
