You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet.

Washington Post is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.

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