Access Center for Human Rights (ACHR) expresses its deep concern about the ongoing hunger strike by over 100 Syrian refugees detained in Roumieh Prison. The hunger strike, which began on February 11, serves as means of peaceful protest to make various demands including that Syrian detainees are handed over to Syrian authorities to either be released, continue to serve their sentences or to face trial in Syria. The detainees have also sought to draw attention to the inhumane and illegal conditions of their detention in Lebanon and demand better treatment.
