A campaign launched days before the start of the Olympics led to the withdrawal for the attendance of Omar al-Aroub , the Vice President of Syria's General Sports Federation and President of the Syrian Paralympic Committee, after an investigation showed he had committed crimes including torture during his leadership of the National Union of Syrian Students (NUSS) between 2011 and 2013. Al-Aroub had been officially welcomed in Paris in 2023 by his role in the Paralympic Committee, but it was subsequently shown that he had been involved in the violent repression of protests in Aleppo in 2011 as second-in-command of the Ba’ath Brigades militia, leading to protests against his involvement at the Olympics.
