  • La British Syrian Society (BSS ou Société britannique syrienne) est une association destinée à promouvoir les relations entre le gouvernement de la Syrie et le Royaume-Uni. Elle a été créée en 2003 par Fawaz Akhras, beau-père de Bachar el-Assad. Son directeur actuel est l'ancien ambassadeur du Royaume-Uni en Syrie, Peter Ford, qui soutient le régime de Bachar el-Assad. Son directeur exécutif est Gaith Armanazi, le frère d'Amr Armanazi, responsable du programme d'armes chimiques et biologiques en Syrie. L'association est active dans les rencontres pro-Assad et est considérée comme un lobby pro-régime. Dans le cadre de son travail de lobbying, la British Syrian Society (BSS) a accueilli au fil des ans des visites en Syrie de plusieurs députés, accueillis par Assad. En septembre 2011, la banque HSBC déclare qu'elle ne représentera plus l'association. Son coprésident, Sir Andrew Green, ancien ambassadeur britannique en Syrie, démissionne après que des courriels ont montré que Fawaz Akhras avait donné des conseils à Bachar el-Assad sur la manière de réfuter les preuves montrant des civils visiblement torturés. Le Dr Akhras avait utilisé une messagerie privéé pour informer le dirigeant syrien de la manière dont le gouvernement syrien devrait gérer les critiques concernant sa répression du soulèvement d'opposition en 2011, y compris la manière de contrer les séquences vidéo semblant montrer la torture d'enfants. Parmi les autres démissions figurent le trésorier de la société, Brian Constant, et Sir Gavyn Arthur, un ancien lord-maire de Londres. En 2016, la BSS organise une conférence internationale à Damas, décrite par le (en) (Conseil pour la compréhension arabo-britannique) comme un « exercice de relations publiques » du gouvernement syrien, ayant pour objet de défendre les objectifs de Bachar el-Assad. Parmi les intervenants syriens figurent Bouthaina Shaaban, le ministre et le parlementaire Fares Shehabi.

Its current directors include Akhras, Lord Asquith, Lord Green, Major-General John Holmes, and Peter Ford, former British ambassador to Syria. As part of its lobbying work, the Society has over the years hosted visits to Syria by several Members of Parliament. Several of these subsequently voted against the Cameron–Clegg coalition government in 2013 on the issue of British military intervention in the Syrian civil war including Richard Shepherd, Crispin Blunt, and David TC Davies. In September 2011, the HSBC bank said it would no longer represent the Society. Its co-chair Sir Andrew Green, a former British ambassador to Syria, resigned after emails showed Dr Akhras had advised Assad on how to rebut evidence of civilians apparently being tortured. Dr Akhras had used a private email channel to the Syrian leader to offer advice on how the Syrian government should handle criticism of its suppression of the opposition uprising, including how to counter video footage appearing to show the torture of children. Other resignations included the society's treasurer, Brian Constant, and Sir Gavyn Farr Arthur, a former Lord Mayor of London. In 2016, the BSS organised an international conference in Damascus, described by the Council for Arab-British Understanding as a Syrian government "PR exercise". Speakers included Bouthaina Shaaban, Ali Haidar and Fares Shehabi.
