## About

Amazon's video streaming platform for movies, series, and award-winning originals

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, with community testing confirming the block since February 2026; accessing Prime Video from a Syrian IP shows the service's own region restriction page. The team sent official outreach to the company in March 2026, and community volunteers also emailed Amazon in March and May 2026 citing the lifting of sanctions, requesting access be restored. No response or resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to Amazon mentioning Prime Video as one of the blocked consumer products requiring access restoration for Syrian users.

## Community reports

- 2026-05-25 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Amazon at aws-eu-privacy@amazon.com requesting that Prime Video access be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo, noted that Syria is no longer listed under OFAC's embargoed countries and that both U.S. and EU sanctions have been lifted, and included supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources, noting that several other companies have already enabled access. The corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com address was CC'd.
- 2026-03-17 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Amazon at aws-eu-privacy@amazon.com requesting a review of restrictions on Prime Video access in Syria. The email cited the easing of sanctions and noted the strong audience in Syria for international entertainment content. This is the first outreach recorded for Amazon Prime Video.
- 2026-02-25 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Amazon Prime Video remains blocked in Syria. Accessing primevideo.com from a Syrian IP displays the service's own geo-restriction page with the Arabic message "تقييد منطقة الخدمة" (Service Region Restriction), indicating the content is not available in the user's region. The block is enforced by Amazon at the application level rather than via a CDN or WAF.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
