Women suffer in crisis-hit Lebanese overcrowded prisons


Baabda (Lebanon) (AFP) – Nour is struggling to raise her infant daughter in Lebanon’s most overpopulated women’s prison: the Baabda prison outside Beirut, as the country’s economy lies in tatters. “I can’t always secure formula for my daughter,” says Nour. “Even when I ask my parents to bring formula, by the time they get here she’ll have gone without it for three days.”
