REPORT: Inaction on rights abuses in Lebanon, says HRW

Human Rights Watch issued its annual World Report 2016, whereby its said that the Lebanese authorities’ policies toward Syrian refugees and the impunity for security forces are harming Lebanon’s human rights record.

 

The criticism comes in reference to the abuses committed by the security forces during security operations and while dispersing protests over a garbage crisis.

 

“Footage of excessive use of force against protesters and abuse of detainees galvanized the Lebanese public but failed to end the culture of impunity. Authorities imposed restrictive and costly residency renewal regulations for Syrian refugees in January 2015, causing many to lose their legal residency and increasing their risks of exploitation,” the report read.
