Maram Susli (; born 1987), also known as Mimi al-Laham, PartisanGirl, Syrian Girl and Syrian Sister, and criticised Syrian rebels as well as ISIS. Her spreading of misinformation, particularly surrounding chemical weapon attacks in Syria, have led to her being labeled a conspiracy theorist.

Media outlets she has contributed to include RT, Press TV and Al Mayadeen.

Views, conspiracy theories and misinformation Susli began writing and speaking on the Syrian civil war in 2012. In addition to RT, Susli is a contributor to the Iranian Press TV, She is a supporter of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, has denied the use of chemical weapons by Assad's forces in the Syrian Civil War, and, according to Bellingcat, "promoted pro-regime propaganda".

In 2014, News Corp Australia Network said Susli was a "self-described News Personality" whose Facebook page is "filled with video posts on the current conflict, criticising IS and Syrian rebels". She has denied the allegations of atrocities and war crimes against the Assad government. That same year, Susli told MailOnline: "People are dying, and I have a duty as a human being and as someone of Syrian origin to expose the truth about why."

Susli has said "Jews were ethnically cleansed from Germany ... However, if you want to talk about specifics and numbers and events and stuff, I’m going to leave that to the historians. And I think you’d find that there’s historians on both sides". In an article for InfoWars, Susli said the White Helmets, the first responder group, had been responsible for the Khan Shaykhun attack.

After the Skripal poisonings in Salisbury, England, in March 2018, Susli's Twitter account posted 2,300 times over a 12-day period, accessed by 61 million users. Analysts from the British government briefed selected journalists that they had concluded Susli's twitter account (@partisangirl) was "suspicious and part of a broader disinformation campaign". The Guardian then described her account as being a "Russian bot"; it subsequently changed its article by substituting "account" for "bot". Susli posted a photograph of a woman carrying a child's toy car down the stairs of a largely destroyed building on Twitter, suggesting it was Gaza after Israeli attacks. The picture was actually an award-winning photograph taken in Homs during the Syrian civil war.

Following the Bondi Junction stabbings, Susli was among those who falsely accused a 20-year-old University of Technology Sydney student with a Jewish surname of carrying out the attack. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Susli was among those who promoted the conspiracy theory that Israel was responsible for his killing, sharing an August 2025 InfoWars clip from Harrison H. Smith, who claimed Kirk thought Israel would assassinate him "if he turned against them." The Forward described this as undermining the fact that Kirk was actually a right-wing supporter of Israel.

InfoWars, Vice, and The Daily Beast interviews In an interview with Alex Jones on InfoWars, following the Ghouta chemical attack of August 2013, she implied the rebels were responsible for the massacre. Susli said the Syrian government was a corrupt dictatorship and that there was "a legitimate reason for people to want to create ... change". She stated that the United States and NATO used the anger of the Syrian people to serve their own agendas. At the time she had thousands of subscribers, which weren't verified.

In a 2014 Vice interview, she said she wanted Syria to "remain secular, united and strong" and did not "tolerate foreigners destroying our way of life, forcing us to live a certain way. Whether it's ISIS or the US government". In an interview with The Daily Beast that same year, Susli said that she does not support President Bashar al-Assad or associates of the Syrian Ba'ath party. According to the website, she said this "espite her trolling over Assad's enemies, despite her appearances on Assad-friendly media outlets, and despite her connections to pro-Assad hackers". In one video, she said groups like the "New World Order" have targeted Assad's Syria because it does not allow genetically modified crops and lacks "a Rothschild central bank". Susli has claimed the 2012 Houla massacre was the work of British intelligence.
