The Assad family, who escaped from Syria and took refuge in Moscow, became a subject of discussion in England. In the news in the British media, it was noted that Esma Assad was treated for cancer and her chance of survival was 50 percent. While it is claimed that Assad intends to divorce his wife and return to England for treatment, it is claimed that his father, Fawaz Akhras, who has a private clinic in London, went from England to Russia to support his daughter.
British Prime Ministry sources stated that Assad, who wants to continue his cancer treatment in England, cannot return to the country of his birth and citizenship. Prime Ministry sources announced that Assad, who did not renew his British passport that expired in 2020, does not have any travel documents.
