Revolution Protection Law

Revolution Protection Law (also known as the Opposition of the Revolution Law or just Legislative Decree No. 6) was repressive political legislation, passed by the Ba'athist Syrian president Amin al-Hafiz in 1965 and prohibited any political and social activity aimed at undermining the "Ba'athist Revolution". Under that law, written or verbal opposition to the goals of the revolution and any resistance to the socialist regime was criminalized with penalties reaching life imprisonment or even execution. The law was not repealed until the fall of Ba'athism in Syria in 2024 (de-facto), after which it became invalid due to the collapse of the regime, that introduced it.
