Summary
The outbreak of Covid-19 in Roumieh prison drew attention to the need to investigate the conditions of Syrians in Lebanese prisons, and to reveal the scale of systematic and ongoing human rights
violations committed against detainees during periods of summoning, interrogation, trial, arrest and imprisonment;
The Lebanese Hezbollah supported Bashar al-Assad in his war against the Syrian people, and participated with him in committing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity against the civilian people, and because of the bombing of Syrians’ areas and the destruction of their homes, they wandered to escape with their children and women seeking safety in Lebanon; But far from human values and international agreements, the militias that dominate the Lebanese authorities have pursued them – outside the law – in their camps, trials, and prisons;
This report examines the conditions of Syrian detainees in Roumieh Prison during the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in September 2020, and sheds light on the poor health conditions that prisoners live, and the discriminatory measures followed in their treatment due to sectarian or geographical affiliation, or due
to the background of political opinions and positions;
In many incidents, such as in Arsal, Syrian civilians, including women and children, were subjected to a policy of collective punishment, and these policies include most of the refugees for continuous periods in other regions;
