Lebanon

Alkarama strongly condemns the deliberate targeting of civilians amid the ongoing Israeli bombardment of densely populated residential areas in Lebanon. At the same time, occupation forces persist in perpetrating acts of genocide in Gaza, systematically erasing entire Palestinian families without facing any form of deterrence.

Alkarama condemns the repressive practices, ongoing harassment, and threats faced by Lebanese human rights lawyer Mohamed Sablouh, warning against any harm to Mr. Sablouh and calling for his protection, as well as the safeguarding of his ability to practice his peaceful legal and human rights work. 

Two prisoners held in Roumieh prison, east of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, died in less than 48 hours due to very poor detention conditions, detainees being denied of minimum necessities of living, Alkarama learnt from its sources. 

The prison in which conditions are further deteriorating is marked by an increasing frequency of deaths and alleged suicides.
