Asma al-Assad Barred from UK by Yvette Cooper Due to Expired Passport Amid Leukemia Treatment Needs
Dec 29, 2024, 02:35 PM
Asma al-Assad, the British-born wife of ousted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, has been barred from returning to the UK for cancer treatment due to the expiration of her British passport. The UK Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, stated that the decision is not based on health reasons and emphasized that Asma al-Assad no longer possesses valid travel documents for entry into the country. Reports indicate that she is currently critically ill, reportedly battling leukemia, and has been seeking to escape Moscow for medical assistance in the UK. Despite her health condition, the British government maintains that her return will not be permitted.
