iloubnan- Roumyeh inmate hurl tear gas bomb on maintenance square, December 7, 2011

A Roumyeh jail inmate tossed a tear gas bomb on the maintenance square of the prison as 187 prisoners continued their hunger strike to demand commuting the prison sentence year. 

The bomb, which was probably seized by mutinous inmates in the last riot, did not explode, security sources told NNA.

Meanwhile, 187 inmates in bloc B building of Roumyeh prison started a hunger strike to press the authorities to accept their demand to reduce the prison sentence from 12 months to nine month, irrespective of the crimes committed by the convicted prisoners. 

The security forces brought more reinforcement to the scene to prevent any attempt to trigger riots in the prison.
