Naharnet - Inmates at Baalbek Prison Riot in Protest against Delayed Trials, 19 April 2012


Around 20 inmates rioted at the Baalbek prison to protest the delay in their trials, the National News Agency reported on Thursday.
“The prisoners are rioting in protest against the postponement of their trials, which is delaying the verdicts, as well as the absence of any medical care,” the NNA said.
Baalbek prosecutor Judge Kamal al-Meqdad intervened to inquire about the demands of the inmates.
Frequent riots had been staged at Roumieh jail due to the poor conditions at the jail.
