Fatah al-Islam Inmates Go on Hunger Strike in Roumieh Jail
2012-03-10
[An Nahar] Fatah al-Islam
A Syrian-incubated al-Qaeda work-alike that they think can be turned off if no longer needed to keep the Leb pot stirred.
inmates in Roumieh prison have gone on a hunger strike on Thursday to protest an assault against a fellow prisoner, reported the National News Agency on Friday.

It explained that the prisoner was assaulted when he was standing trial at the Military Tribunal.

No further details were given on the incident.

The Fatah al-Islam inmates demanded that the prison administration hold the assailants accountable for their actions in order for them to end their strike.

The prison administration has since tightened security in the bloc B of the jail, where the Fatah al-Islam prisoners are jugged, as a precaution should the strike turn into a riot.

Roumieh inmates frequently stage hunger strikes in protest against the conditions in the jail.

#1  a suggestion? Cut off food to ALL inmates while these drama queens do their hunger strike. Collective punishment. Perhaps their fellow (involuntary) hunger strikers might have a word with them?
