Art performing for women inmate in Tripoli
15-9-2017
The Lebanese Charitable Association for Reform and Rehabilitation organized a performing art ceremony for women inmates at the Tripoli Central Prison, held under the patronage of the Director General of the Internal Security Forces, Major General Imad Othman, and with the presence of a number of political, religious and social dignitaries. Under the title, ‘I want to live, breathe and express myself’, the prisoners presented a number of dances inspired from their life inside prison cells. On the occasion, the head of the association, Fatmeh Badra, commended similar activities that tap the innate hope in the hearts of prisoners, which, as she put it, “will eventually seep out and shine when they get out more empowered to face the challenges of life.” One inmate recounted the daily life in detention, mentioning the effect of the regular events organized by the association, particularly, the theatrical performance part, which she maintained will contribute to alleviating the suffering of living behind bars.
