Work at JetBrains? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside JetBrains can change that.

- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.

Frequently Asked Questions
JetBrains is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
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 JetBrains directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
