This is a list of Lebanese citizens suspected to be detained in Syria (estimated to be 622).
According to the Syrian government, these were all the Lebanese political prisoners under their control.
[6][7] The Syrian government also confirmed the existence of 88 Lebanese citizens under criminal sentences.
The Syrian government claimed these people are not political prisoners due to the criminal sentences they are serving.
According to Hariri, during a December 12, 2000 speech, these lists were inaccurate and would “make us remember all the civil war's terrible mess again”.
