The Lebanese Judiciary will release within two days a new group of
Islamists, who are detained in Roumieh prison, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on
Tuesday.
Sources told the daily that the prisoners will be released by
Thursday.
The National News Agency reported later that 81 Islamists
submitted their release requests.
Last week, reports said that authorities will release fourteen
Islamists but only nine were discharged from the prison.
The judiciary is exerting efforts to speed up the legal process of
around 180 Islamists after their relatives and supporters launched sit-ins in
the northern city of Tripoli demanding their release.
The Islamists were detained on charges of fighting alongside Fatah
al-Islam terrorist network or helping it in its gunbattles with the Lebanese
army in 2007 at the Nahr al-Bared northern Palestinian refugee camp.
