Suleiman: Investigations on Roumieh Jailbreak Must Be Made, Strict Measures Must Be Taken

W300

President Michel Suleiman expressed his deep dissatisfaction regarding the recent escape of inmates from Roumieh prison, stating that such incidents are “unacceptable,” the state-run National News Agency said Saturday.

Suleiman told Internal Security Forces chief Ashraf Rifi during a meeting to conduct investigations and take necessary measures to hunt down the escapees and hold prison officials responsible for negligence therein.

Three Fatah al-Islam inmates – a Palestinian, a Syrian and an Algerian – managed to escape from Roumieh prison around a month ago, media reports said on Friday.

Reports identified the three prisoners as Palestinian national Mahmoud Awad Falah, 32, Syrian national Omar Mahmoud Othman, 26, and Algerian national Faisal Daoud Aqla, 31.

Security forces have launched a search operation in a bid to capture the inmates who escaped the prison, the reports added.

In nations that respect their people, the punk sitting across the clueless would have been thrown out and even tried.

In a country that respects itself, the two butt-heads in the photo would have already been two rotten butt-heads hanging by a rope down a cedar tree.
