The European Union is extending its sanctions, including travel bans and asset freezes, against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for another year as the Syrian civil war rages on.
One more person has been added to the sanctions list on which “over 200 persons and 70 entities are targeted by EU sanctions over the violent repression against the civilian population in Syria,” the Council of the European Union said in a statement on Thursday.
