Head of Kataeb Metn district Elias Hankache on Tuesday slammed the bad conditions in which the Roumieh prison inmates are living in, calling on relevant authorities and official services to address the situation as soon as possible.

“The Central Prison in Roumieh is overcrowded and has the worst security and sanitary conditions with more than 100 coronavirus cases,” Hankache wrote on Twitter.

“Infected people must be isolated, tests should be conducted on all prisoners, a medical team must be secured around the clock as well as medical supplies must be provided so as to effectively treat the situation in the prison,” he said.
