HRW and Lebanese prisoners

I know that HRW is obsessed with Syrian violations of human rights, but maybe they can also focus on Lebanon a bit.  Yesterday, the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (a private militia for Hariri Inc), stormed into the prison and killed and injured a number of people.  They closed off the prison and we don't know what really happened. In fact, New TV's Ibrahim Dsouki noted that the ISF have been lying and initially denied that anyone died only to be proved wrong in that false claim.
