REPORT: Judge Abou Ghaida issues indictment into Roumieh prison case

Military Investigative Judge Riad Abou Ghaida issued on Monday an indictment into the Roumieh prison case, after a video was leaked on June 22 showing Islamist inmates being tortured by security forces.

On June 23, Judge Samir Hammoud finalized his investigations into the case, ordering the arrest of 5 security officials.
 
The dossier was referred to State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr.
 
Prime Minister Tammam Salam described the torture inflicted on Roumieh prison Islamist inmates as “a disgraceful, unethical act that violates the constitution,” urging the judicial and security apparatuses “to follow through with their transparent investigations and impose the appropriate criminal and disciplinary penalties against those involved.”
 
The PM also stressed his keenness on “protecting state institutions,” warning against any attempt to exploit these behaviors to distort the image of the Internal Security Forces.”
 
For his part, Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq said that "such mistakes will not be repeated," noting that inmates will be granted all their humanitarian rights.
