REPORT: Former detainee says many Lebanese are still detained in Syrian jails

Lebanese citizen Ghassan Ghosn who was detained in Syrian prisons from 1989 until 1999 told on Sunday LBCI the story of his detention.

Ghosn noted that he was arrested on the Lebanese-Syrian border, adding that he was accused of collecting information and conveying them to head of Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun.

Ghosn's comments were made during Nharkom Said TV show in which he asserted that many Lebanese citizens are still detained in Syrian prisons.

Thousands of Lebanese citizens were kidnapped by the Syrian regime during its 29 years of occupation of Lebanon.

Many have since died but hundreds remain missing or in Syrian jails.
