On June 26, International Day in support of Victims of Torture, we are calling for a solidarity sit-in with the migrants and refugees of Lebanon at 6:00 pm in front of the General Security detention place in Adlieh, Beirut (on the roundabout).
In the General Security detention place, migrants, asylum seekers and refugees are detained illegally in an underground parking lot where they never see the sunlight and suffer terrible detention conditions for sometimes very prolonged periods of time, with the aim to either punish them for leaving their sponsor, entering illegally in the country, or to oblige refugees to accept their deportation to their country of origin.
