The British wife of Syria’s deposed President Bashar al-Assad, Asma al-Assad, has filed for divorce after expressing dissatisfaction with her life in Moscow, Turkish and Arab media reported Sunday.
She reportedly seeks to move to London.
Asma applied to the Russian court and requested special permission to leave Moscow. Her application is reportedly currently being evaluated by Russian authorities.
Asma is a dual British-Syrian national who was born and raised in London by Syrian parents, the BBC reported.
Asma moved to Syria in 2000 and married Assad in the same year at the age of 25.
