Conflict Incident Report

NNA - "In wake of the circulated images and video clips via media and social networking sites earlier Sunday, showing 2 members of the Internal Security Forces while on duty of maintaining security and order inside Roumieh Prison, whereby one of them assaulted 2 prisoners, using foul language, the Internal Security Forces General Directorate immediately ordered the necessary investigations into the incident," indicated an ISF issued statement. "The ISF General Directorate encourages citizens to place their trust in the Institution, abstaining from further engaging in polemic in this issue, and veering attention towards what is actually being plotted for this country, especially at this particular time," the statement added. "Following thorough investigations conducted by ISF Information Branch, under the supervision of the concerned judiciary, 2 involved members in the incident were detained, while investigations remain underway to unveil the identity of the rest, so as to bring them to justice," the statement went on. "The ISF General Directorate is fully keen on respecting human rights, having enough courage to recognize and admit to any committed error that constitutes an offense and an assault against human dignity by a few of its members, while implementing a huge security operation aimed at preserving the nation and citizens' safety," concluded the statement.
