Lebanon: 500 lawyers monitor the state of prisons and prisoners

Last Thursday, the Beirut bar association decided to charge 500 lawyers to visit all Lebanese prisons Sunday, December 22, 2019. It is also expected that the same lawyers prepare a list of prisoners without a lawyer and those who need their bail to be paid.

Recall that this decision is a first after the last elections of the Bar. These elections led to the formation of a new office recognized for its activism and integrity.
