 We are at the entrance of the room with prison in Beirut, Lebanon, where angry parents blocked the road and blocked the entrance of the prison because they demand their relatives to be released from the prison. Many of the relatives are staying there without a child for several years. Yesterday an uprising started in the prison because of the inhumane conditions inside. They're burning, they're burning their mattresses, they're burning all clothes. All the rubbish and everything has been thrown out of the windows. They're getting rocks, they're breaking the walls and getting rocks and throwing rocks outside and there's a lot of self-injury like their auto-mutilation, they're cutting themselves because their demands aren't being met and they're just trying to be heard. It's their way of trying to be heard. They did capture four policemen inside but I don't know the situation at the moment. Here we can see that families are the prisoners. They want to go out for their sons and their husbands and their relatives inside the people. They want to visit them and they want to see them today but the authorities can't allow that. Because of many things that happened yesterday and for two days they stand up in the middle of the street and they can't go in both ways. So their parents want to go in but because there's a uprising within the prison they can't go into the prison so that's why they're all outside demanding that they let them in or at least let the stuff that they brought for their children to go in. Our prisons are in a very bad state. The prison that recently had a riot is built for 1,000 people. It houses 3,500 people. You have around 30 to 35 people in a cell. It's overly populated, it's very corrupt and of course the abuses that go on there of course are happening all the time. They don't go down to the court when they've got court hearings or even their court hearings. There's a lot of prisoners that have been in prison for ages and they haven't even been to court yet. They haven't been called to trial. Obviously the biggest problem is the overcrowding which is causing a lot of stress, a lot of problems with the sleep within the prison. Prisoners are not being able to sleep. Anxiety and depression cases are extremely high within the prison. Stop! Healthcare is in a horrific state. They used to prescribe benzos to keep everybody calm. Actually the prison health people did that. There is drugs all over the prison either coming in or being sold within the prison. Drug use is more in the prison than outside the prison. So if you're putting young people in fact who use drugs in prisons and then you're giving them the drugs there then what's the message you're conveying and knowing that the dealer has the best room in prison. It's against all the human rights basically of how the prison should be. It's too overcrowded inside.
