Syrian Response

In 2000, Syria released 54 Lebanese political prisoners. According to the Syrian government, these were all of the Lebanese political prisoners under their control.[1] [2] The Syrian government also affirmed the existence of 88 Lebanese citizens under criminal sentences. The Syrian government claimed these people to not be political prisoners due to the criminal sentences they are serving.[3]

Rafic Hariri's response

Before the 54 Lebanese prisoners were released from the Syrian side, lists that include around 260 Lebanese prisoners were being spread, which were according to him during a speech on 2000/12/12 inaccurate and would "make us remember all the civil war's terrible mess again", and that Syria has released the Lebanese citizens it had, supporting Syria's claim that it had released all its political prisoners.[4]
