Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has filed for separation from her husband in a Russian court. According to media reports, rumors about the couple’s separation have been circulating for days, and if the divorce takes place, it could pave the way for Asma’s potential return to London.
Reports suggest that Asma has expressed dissatisfaction with her life in Moscow, and it has been revealed that she wishes to move to the UK with the support of her mother, Sahar al-Attar, as she holds British citizenship. She has reportedly started discussions with a prestigious legal firm in England.
The reports also mentioned that Asma al-Assad has leukemia, and proper medical care is not available in Moscow. She has filed for divorce in a Russian family court and requested special permission to leave Moscow. Asma, once known as Syria’s “First Lady,” is reportedly seeking a new direction in her life after feeling isolated and uncertain in Moscow.
