Two suicides occurred in Roumieh Prison within less than 48 hours, resulting in the deaths of a Lebanese and a Palestinian. Local media reported that "the Lebanese, born in 2007, hanged himself this morning, Thursday, after being transferred on Wednesday to building C for a theft charge. He was preceded by the Palestinian in building D, who attempted suicide by drinking a quantity of 'alcohol' 48 hours earlier and subsequently passed away."
Furthermore, the Internal Security Forces issued a statement indicating, "The individual known as A.K. (born in 2007, registered as unknown) was detained for theft and gang formation and was transferred on 10-5-2023 from the Ramla Whites police station to building C in Roumieh Prison, which is designated for new inmates to monitor their health conditions under the supervision of nurses from the World Health Organization. After the corpse was examined by a forensic doctor, it was confirmed that the victim died by hanging, and there were no signs of violence."
