The Syrian Community in Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States urges lifting EU sanctions on Syria
Members of the Syrian community in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States have called for an immediate lifting of the coercive economic measures imposed by the European Union on the Syrian people.
In a letter addressing Head of the European Union's Parliament, members of the Syrian community stressed that these unfair sanctions exacerbate the economic, social, humanitarian and health suffering of the Syrian people particularly in the light of the outbreak of the Corona pandemic.
The EU and the US economic sections, mainly the US "Caesar Act", have massively affected the Syrians' livelihood and their ability to have access to the basic requirements of life, the letter said.
