 Lebanese Detainees in Khiam Prison and Israel "This prison is operated entirely outside the law. Lebanese who are detained in Khiam have no idea when they will be released -- it could be months or it could be years.

And Israel is bound by its obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law to address the violations that continue to occur at Khiam." Human Rights Watch, October 28, 1999
