The British government said it raised sanctions against a dozen Syrian entities, including ministries and the media, to help the country rebuild itself after President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown in a Lightning Rebel offensive in December.
The United Kingdom had put in place the sanctions against those who supported Assad's repressive regime, violently helped to remove civilians and the disinformation of disinformation.
“The Syrian people deserves the opportunity to rebuild their country and their economy and a stable in Syria is in the national interest of the United Kingdom,” said Hamish Falconer, Minister of the Middle East, in a statement.
The new leaders of Syria were struggling to start rebuilding the economy and decimated infrastructure in the country after almost 14 years of civil war.
The new Damascus authorities have pressure for severe sanctions imposed by Western countries on the government of Assad to be lifted, with limited success.
Financial sanctions and asset freezing have been raised on several government agencies, including interior and defense ministries, said UK Foreign Office.
Sanctions have also been abandoned against the general organization of radio and television, an agency managed by the state which would have propagated propaganda for Assad and incited violence against civilians.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that he also raised sanctions against Al Watan, a newspaper, Cham Press TV and Sama TV, to disinfuse disinformation.
The sanctions imposed against Al-Assad and the partners remain in place and the legislation has been modified to allow the former chief and other persons held responsible for the atrocities committed against the Syrians.
In March, the United Kingdom abandoned sanctions against two dozen Syrian companies, mainly banks and oil companies.
The Trump administration has not yet officially recognized the new Syrian government led by President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, a former Islamist insurgent who led the offensive that ousted Al-Assad.
The militant group All-Sharaa directed, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), remains a terrorist organization designated by the United States and the sanctions imposed in Damascus under al-Assad remain in place.
However, Washington has attenuated certain restrictions.
In January, the US Treasury issued a general license, which has been six months, which authorized certain transactions with the Syrian government, including energy sales and accidental transactions.
The European Union, on the other hand, began to relieve certain energy sanctions and banking transports and restrictions against Syria, suspended from the measures targeting oil, gas and electricity as well as transport, including the aviation sector.
