Young men on Monday blocked the northern road leading to the city of Baalbek with burning tires to demand general amnesty for prisoners, the National News Agency reported.
The report added that Lebanese army forces and Civil Defense Forces arrived to the scene to reopen the road.
A number of riots broke out earlier in the year in Roumieh Prison, while families of inmates have staged protests calling for improved prisoner rights and a general amnesty for their detained relatives.
