Fadwa Souleimane

Fadwa Souleimane (also transcribed as Fadwa Soliman or Fadwa Suleiman) was a Syrian actress and political activist.

At the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011, Soliman was one of the few outspoken actresses to protest against the government of Syrian President. Facing possible death or imprisonment, Soliman wanted to participate in the demonstration to dispel what she said was public perception that all in the Alawite community, which comprised around 10 percent of the Syrian population, supported the government of fellow Alawite Bashar al-Assad. She also wanted to dismiss the government's narrative that those who participated in protests were either Islamists or armed terrorists. She appeared at rallies demanding Assad's removal, sharing the podium with soccer star Abdel Basset Al-Sarout, one of a number of other prominent Syrians who backed the revolt.

As a dubbing actress, she had an outstanding participation in the Venus Center studio, where she worked since the 90s. Her most recognized characters were Sonic and Shadow, in Sonic X).

On August 17, 2017, Fadwa Suleiman died of cancer in exile in France.
