The Military Court has charged at least 6 of the detained #Tripoli protesters with "terrorism and theft," according to their lawyer Ayman Raad. We have said it before, and we will say it again:

#Lebanon's military courts have NO business trying civilians. (1/6) Structure of #Lebanon's military courts undermines right to fair trial:
-many of judges are military officers, appointed by Defense Minister, who are not required to have any legal training
-military personnel serving as judges remain subordinate to the defense minister.

Millions of #Lebanon’s residents are at risk of going hungry due to #COVID_19 lockdown measures unless the government urgently puts in place a robust, coordinated plan to provide assistance. Latest from @hrw:
hrw.org/news/2020/04/0… On April 1, govt announced it would distribute 400,000 LBP ($150) to the poorest families, but offered few details. A week earlier, it had pledged 75 billion LBP ($50,000) for nutrition + sanitary assistance, w/out any details - unclear whether both refer to the same assistance.

#Lebanon’s financial crisis has restricted the ability of importers to bring in vital goods, resulting in a scarcity of medical supplies, incl masks + gloves, necessary to deal with the #COVID_19 outbreak. Latest from @hrw:
hrw.org/news/2020/03/2… Medical supply importers have only been able to bring in $10million of equipment since Sept, <10% of #Lebanon's needs. Head of the Syndicate of Private Hospitals warned “if there are no imports of fresh [medical] supplies, we will not be able to manage for more than a week.
