This interactive research tool summarizes everything you need to know about individuals targeted by US and EU sanctions within Syria programs. It makes it easier to find the official information relating to each individual, such as the reason for targeting, age, and country of birth. We have added other variables useful for analytical purposes, such as association with the army or security apparatus, ethnicity, religion, occupation, and country of residence.
Disclaimer
Some of the data presented in this dashboard were collected from unofficial sources, including online articles and our personal connections to informed individuals. Given the nature of the data, and despite our best endeavors to cross-check the information offered by various sources, we cannot guarantee the correctness of all the information. If you wish to suggest a revision, please use this form.
Note that we excluded the US-sanctioned employees of the Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), 269 individuals who were all sanctioned at once in April 2017. When collecting the data for the research tool, we struggled to identify the vast majority of those individuals.
