Mirza Allows Committee of Journalists and Inmates’ Families to Enter Roumieh Prison

Prosecutor General Saeed Mirza allowed on Friday a committee of journalists and inmates’ families to enter Roumieh prison to inspect the prisoners’ conditions.

He granted them permission after a committee from the families met with him to inquire about the prisoners.

Earlier on Friday, the families staged a protest in front of the Justice Palace amid heavy security presence.

The prosecutor general also called for a meeting on Monday for the head of criminal courts in the Mount Lebanon province to address the issue of speeding up trials.
