Refute the claim

Verify-Sy platform team tracked the news to determine its authenticity by returning to the list of winning candidates for membership in the parliament of the Assad regime announced by the Supreme Judicial Committee responsible for the elections, as the name (Kermanshahi) was not included in the announced list, which confirms that the allegations of her winning parliament membership for the legislative role are not true. Third, the list here.

Verify-Sy was unable to verify the candidate's nationality (Ruqiya Kermanshahi) and whether she holds Iranian citizenship or is of Iranian origin.


conclusion

  1. The news of the candidate's victory (Ruqiah Shibli Kermanshahi) in the Syrian People's Assembly elections is untrue, as her name was not included in the list of winners in the polls.
  2. There is no evidence to confirm that Ruqayya Shibli Kermanshahi holds Iranian citizenship.

Who is Rokia Kermanshahi?

Kermanshahi is nicknamed Umm Jaafar, and she is active in spreading Shiite thought in Syrian circles and forums, especially among children, under the pretext of supporting them and providing them with humanitarian aid. She has also been recorded to appear alongside Iranian political and religious figures.
