Law No. 49 was a political law in Ba'athist Syria, aimed against the activities of the regional Muslim Brotherhood organization in the country. The law was introduced on July 7, 1980, by the president Hafez al-Assad, and banned any activity by the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, punishing those associated with it by the death penalty. The law has repeatedly been condemned by international human rights organizations and was hailed as establishing one of the harshest legal positions against the Muslim Brotherhood in the world.
