Asma al-Assad Barred from UK by Home Office After Passport Expiration Amid Cancer Diagnosis
Dec 29, 2024, 12:11 PM
Asma al-Assad, the wife of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has been effectively barred from returning to the United Kingdom following the expiration of her British passport. The British Home Office has confirmed that her return will not be permitted and that the decision is not based on health reasons. Reports indicate that al-Assad is currently in a precarious health situation, exacerbated by her recent cancer diagnosis. The British government has stated that she no longer possesses valid travel documents for entry into the UK, solidifying her status as unwelcome in the country.
