Zeina Daccache Now Working in Baabda Women's Prison, Lebanon (Updated)

Those of you that have followed Zeina's work at Roumieh Prison (previous posts below) may know there have been a series of riots there over the years, and in April 2011 during a particularly bad incident, 3 prisoners died and the theatre was destroyed. At that point it was not clear whether her work could continue.

I am pleased to discover she is now working again, breaking new ground in one of the country's women's prison.
