21 Islamists Interrogated over Nahr al-Bared Clashes
2013-03-09
[An Nahar] The judicial council interrogated on Friday a third batch of Islamists over their links to the 2007 Nahr al-Bared festivities.

It interrogated 21 detainees ahead of their trial.

The last round of interrogations took place on Tuesday, bringing the total of Islamists who have been questioned to 84.

The festivities at the Paleostinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in northern Leb erupted in May 2007 and ended in September of that year with the army defeating Fatah al-Islam

The prison has witnessed riots and failed and successful jail breaks over the years, with inmates protesting the poor conditions and the delay in their trials.

In June 2012, nine Islamists, linked to the 2007 festivities, were released from Roumieh prison.
