Syrian Parliament Revokes Membership of Businessman Mohammad Hamsho
The Syrian regime’s People’s Assembly has recently revoked the membership of businessman Mohammad Hamsho due to his Turkish citizenship. This decision follows a similar move made against Shadi al-Dabsi just two weeks ago. Hamsho, a prominent figure in the Assembly since 2012, was unanimously stripped of his position.
Born in Damascus in 1966, Hamsho’s business empire spans various sectors, including communications, advertising, and artistic production. Despite his close ties to the Syrian regime, his Turkish citizenship led to his removal from the Assembly. Hamsho’s connections to powerful figures in Syria’s business and political spheres have placed him under international sanctions, further tarnishing his reputation.
The decision to revoke Hamsho’s membership highlights the changing political landscape in Syria, where regime-aligned businessmen face increasing scrutiny. As the situation evolves, the fate of individuals like Hamsho remains uncertain.
