Asma al-Assad and her father Fawaz Akhras
The US Government has sanctioned a top regime official, the Central Bank, and Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad, and her family.
In its latest sanctions on Syria’s Assad regime, the US Treasury cited Lina al-Kinayeh, the long-time Director of the Follow-Up Office in Bashar al-Assad’s Presidency; her husband Mohammad Masouti, a member of the People’s Assembly; and four of their companies.
The Central Bank was named “to discourage future investment in government-controlled areas of Syria, force the regime to end its atrocities against the Syrian people, and compel its commitment to the United Nations-facilitated process” for a political resolution.
US imposes sanction of Assad s wife, father-in-law December 23, 2020 at 3:37 pm
The United States has imposed a new set of sanctions on Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad s wife and her father, in the latest round of measures against the regime and the ruling class.
In a statement published yesterday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the sanctions against the Syrian dictator s British-born wife Asma Al-Assad, accusing her of impeding efforts to promote a political resolution of the Syrian conflict. He stated that she has spearheaded efforts on behalf of the regime to consolidate economic and political power, including by using her so-called charities and civil society organizations.

The nearly 10-year civil war has displaced millions of Syrians and counted hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.
“The United States and the vast majority of the international community remain committed to this dignified plan for ending the suffering of the Syrian people,” Pompeo said in a statement Tuesday.
“The Assad regime, supported by its enablers and allies, however, refuses to end its needless, brutal war against the Syrian people, stalling efforts to reach a political resolution, he said.
The move marks the second round of sanctions targeting the Syrian president’s wife, who was blacklisted in June along with her husband, for their alleged role in mass atrocities toward the Syrian people amid the brutal civil war.
