Bashar al-Assad's wife wants to divorce him

Asma al-Assad, the wife of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has sought asylum in Russia, has filed for divorce with a Russian court. 49-year-old Asma al-Assad wants to go to the UK for treatment because she is unhappy with her living conditions in the Russian capital and is suffering from a severe form of leukemia. The divorce will help her get rid of sanctions and legal problems in Europe.
Asma al-Assad wants to obtain permission to leave Moscow through the court. However, the exact reasons for the current ban have not been disclosed. It is believed that this is due to the temporary withdrawal of her asylum documents in Russia. Bashar al-Assad himself is said to be facing severe restrictions in Russia. In addition, the Russian government has frozen access to Bashar al-Assad's financial assets.
