"Bad news has come from England for Asma Assad, the cancer-stricken wife of Syria's ousted leader Bashar Assad. Government sources stated that Asma Assad, who is a British citizen, is subject to travel sanctions and will not be able to enter the country."
After the fall of the Baath regime, Esma Assad, the wife of Syria's ousted leader Bashar Assad, who fled to Russia with her family, has also been widely discussed. The British media stated that "her chance of survival is 50%" for Esma Assad, who is said to be undergoing cancer treatment.
BRITAIN WILL NOT ALLOW ESMA ASSAD INTO THE COUNTRY
While it has been learned that Esma Assad, whose divorce from Bashar Assad has been denied, wants to return to England, news has come from London. British Prime Minister's sources stated that Assad, who wants to continue her cancer treatment in England, will not be able to return to the country where she was born and is a citizen. The Prime Minister's sources emphasized that Assad, who did not renew her British passport that expired in 2020, has no travel documents.
PASSPORT HAS EXPIRED
The Paper newspaper reported that Assad, whose passport has expired, is subject to sanctions such as travel restrictions and the freezing of her assets. In a statement to the newspaper, Prime Minister's sources emphasized that due to these sanctions, it is not possible for Esma Assad to enter the UK.
The Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who has the authority to revoke citizenship in the country, had stated that Assad would not be granted permission to enter the country. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, in a statement made in the House of Commons on December 9, said regarding the possibility of Assad returning to the UK, "Assad is a sanctioned individual and will not be welcomed here."
