Sanctions and the right to health in post-Assad Syria
Dec 8, 2024, marked the end of the five-decade long regime of Bashir al-Assad and the Assad family in Syria, characterised by systemic repression, human rights abuses, and crimes against humanity.1 After the protests of 2011, Assad's response involved indiscriminate bombings, targeting of health-care facilities and health-care workers, and the use of internationally prohibited chemical weapons, triggering one of the worst humanitarian crises since World War 2.1

Time to stop sanctions against Syria.
@salehaljadeeah.bsky.social
argues 3 main reasons: 1 - Sanctions were against Assad - He is gone. 2- Sanctions are hampering access to health care. 3 - Let's not give the new regime any reason for not respecting human rights.
