Mahmoud Ahmad Marei (Arabic: محمود أحمد مرعي; born 1957) is a Syrian politician,[2] lawyer, former head of the Arab Organization for Human Rights,[3] and former secretary-general of the National Democratic Front, a small, opposition party.[4]

Biography

Marei was born in Talfita, Rif Dimashq. He studied law at the Damascus University and graduated in 1993.[5]

He is former president of the Youth Office at the National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change.[citation needed] He was a member of the internal opposition delegation to the Geneva peace talks on Syria (2017).[6]

Marei was a candidate in the 2021 Syrian presidential election. According to the Daily Telegraph, "Few consider former state minister Abdallah Salloum Abdallah and Mahmoud Merhi, a member of the so-called 'tolerated opposition', serious contenders."[7] The Democratic Arab Socialist Union rejected the legitimacy of the elections and distanced itself from Mahmoud Ahmad Marei, saying he had been expelled from the party in 2013.[8]
