Subject: Request to Enable Service Access in Syria

Dear Team,

I am writing to request that service access be enabled for users in Syria.

Following the lifting of the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria announced by the U.S. Treasury in December 2025, all sanctions on Syria have now been lifted by both the United States and the European Union. Syria is no longer listed under OFAC's embargoed countries.

For reference:
1- U.S. Treasury announcement: https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/934736/download?inline
2- OFAC sanctions programs overview: https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-programs-and-country-information

I have also attached relevant supporting documentation from https://unblocksyria.com/resources.

Several other companies have already enabled access. As millions of Syrians work to rebuild their country, access to global digital services is increasingly important.

I kindly request a review of the current restriction and would appreciate confirmation on whether Syria can now be onboarded and supported on your platform.

Best regards,

LinkedIn Message

Hi,

I wanted to share something important for myself and other Syrians.

Following the lifting of the comprehensive trade embargo on Syria announced by the U.S. Treasury in December 2025, all sanctions on Syria have now been lifted by both the United States and the European Union. Syria is no longer listed under OFAC's embargoed countries.

For reference:
U.S. Treasury announcement: https://ofac.treasury.gov/media/934736/download?inline
OFAC sanctions programs overview: https://ofac.treasury.gov/sanctions-programs-and-country-information

Despite this, many Syrians still cannot access your company's services, even though it is now legally permissible. Would you be open to raising this with your legal or compliance team?

There's also a helpful resource at https://unblocksyria.com with official documentation they can reference. Happy to share more details if useful.

Best regards,

Key Talking Points

1

The regime changed. Assad fell in December 2024. Syria is rebuilding under new leadership.

2

Comprehensive sanctions are gone. The US and EU repealed theirs. Nothing left requires blocking Syrians.

3

Your competitors already moved. Google, GitHub, Steam and Fedora have all restored access to Syria.

4

The market is real. Syria has a young, educated population ready to participate in the global economy.

5

The terror listing is gone. The state-sponsor designation was rescinded in 2026, the last country-level measure.

6

It's the right thing. Syrians have been isolated for over a decade. Help them reconnect.

This Is How Syria Reconnects

Not through one big announcement — through thousands of small actions. That's how we build pressure companies can't ignore.
