Britain said on Thursday it would adapt its Syria sanctions regions following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's rule late last year, but will ensure asset freezes and travel bans imposed on members of the former government remain in place, TurkicWorld reports referencing Al-Awsat.
"We are making these changes to support the Syrian people in re-building their country and promote security and stability," said Stephen Doughty, minister for Europe, North America and overseas territories.
"The Government remains determined to hold Bashar al-Assad and his associates to account for their actions against the people of Syria."
