In 2000, Syria released 54 Lebanese political prisoners. According to the Syrian government, these were all the Lebanese political prisoners under their control.{{cite news |last1=Ibrahim |first1=Awadh |title=دمشق "للمرة الألف": لا معتقلين سياسيين لبنانيين في السجون السورية |url=https://al-akhbar.com/Archive_Local_News/206411 |newspaper=الأخبار |accessdate=3 May 2020 |language=ar}}{{cite web |last1=Sachs |first1=Susan |title=Syria Frees About 50 of Its Lebanese Prisoners |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/12/world/syria-frees-about-50-of-its-lebanese-prisoners.html |website=The New York Times |accessdate=3 May 2020 |date=12 December 2000}} 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.{{cite news |last1=Suad |first1=Ghassan |title=في السجون السورية لبنانيّون: من يسأل عنهم؟ |url=https://al-akhbar.com/Archive_Local_News/209215 |newspaper=الأخبار |accessdate=3 May 2020 |language=ar}}
= 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. 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”. He insisted Syria has released all Lebanese citizens it had, supporting Syria's claim.{{cite news |last1=Awadh |first1=Ibrahim |title=دمشق "للمرة الألف": لا معتقلين سياسيين لبنانيين في السجون السورية |url=https://al-akhbar.com/Archive_Local_News/206411 |newspaper=الأخبار |accessdate=3 May 2020 |language=ar}}
