A community volunteer wrote to Amazon's EU privacy team asking it to review the country restriction, noting that Syria's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism was rescinded on 24 August 2026 and that the measures still in force target named individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Amazon works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Amazon directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
