Biography

George Sabra is a Syrian Christian politician and longtime communist activist who became a prominent face of the Syrian opposition after 2011. He served as president of the Syrian National Council (SNC) and later as a leading figure in the Syrian National Coalition, becoming one of the most visible Christian voices supporting the revolution. His participation challenged the Assad government's narrative that it was protecting religious minorities. He spent years imprisoned by the Assad regime for his political activities before the uprising.
