The UK on Thursday lifted asset freezes on Syria's defence and interior ministries and a range of intelligence agencies, reversing sanctions imposed during Bashar Assad's presidency.
The West is rethinking its approach to Syria after insurgent forces led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ousted Assad as president in December after more than 13 years of civil war.
