Roumyeh inmate hurls tear gas bomb, 187 prisoners on hunger strike

A Roumyeh inmate dropped a tear gas bomb on the maintenance square of the prison Tuesday night, as 187 prisoners uphold their hunger strike to demand commuting the prison sentence year.

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

Meanwhile, 187 inmates of the Block B of Roumyeh prison went on hunger strike, attempting to press the authorities to reduce the prison sentence from 12 to 9 months, irrespective of the crimes committed by the convicted prisoners.
Security forces were reinforced in the prison to tighten security measures, averting a possible riot.
