BEIRUT: Lebanon has transferred 128 Syrian convicts to their home country, a Lebanese security source told AFP on Wednesday, the second batch of handovers under an agreement the two sides signed earlier this year. Overcrowded Lebanese prisons host around 2,000 Syrian nationals held on various charges. Many are still awaiting trial, while hundreds have been brought before military courts on charges of “terrorism” or related offenses, including attacks on Lebanese forces.
