 Syrian actress Rosina Lathqani was appointed to Syrias Peoples Assembly on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, as part of a group of 70 members selected by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The appointments complete the formation of the countrys first parliament since the fall of former President Bashar al-Assads government.

Lathqani is among 15 women appointed by presidential decree, representing the final third of the 210-member legislature. The remaining members were selected earlier through a multi-stage electoral process that began in October 2025.

Born on April 17, 1990, in Hama, Lathqani graduated from the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus with a specialization in scenography. She began her acting career in 2013 with appearances in the television series Naterin, directed by Tamer Ishaq, before taking on her first film and television roles in 2014.

During the early years of her career, she underwent professional voice training, believing that actors should develop skills in acting, singing, movement, and mastering different dialects to portray a wide range of characters.

Lathqani gained recognition through several Syrian drama productions, including Inaya Mushaddada, Waiting for Jasmine, and Shouq. Her breakthrough came with the hit drama Al Hayba, directed by Samer Al Barqawi, in which she portrayed Mona Sheikh Al Jabal alongside Mona Wassef and Tim Hassan throughout four seasons between 2017 and 2021. Lathqani has described the series as a turning point in her artistic career.

She also drew attention in 2017 with her role as Hafsa in the pan-Arab series Black Crows, which explored life inside the camps of the so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq and examined the participation of women within the organization.

Another milestone in her career came with Wlad Badeea, directed by Rasha Shurbatji and starring Sulafa Mimar, Mahmoud Nasr, Yamen Hajli, and Samer Ismail. The Ramadan 2024 production received widespread critical acclaim.

Lathqani is currently preparing for the anthology series The Road Back, written by Suleiman Abdul Aziz and directed by Fadi Wafai. The production explores the experiences of Syrian refugees and the challenges surrounding return, identity, loss, and belonging.

She is also set to star in The Syrians, the Enemies, directed by Al Laith Hajjo. The political and social drama spans several decades, from the 1970s through early 2011, depicting events in Hama, Palmyra, and Damascus while examining Syrian prisons and state repression during the Assad era.

Following the political transition in Syria, Lathqani publicly expressed support for the Syrian revolution through social media and shared messages celebrating what she described as Syrias liberation on December 8, 2024. Among her posts was an image of residents in Hama carrying the Syrian independence flag, accompanied by a personal statement reflecting on the citys history.
