Asma al-Assad is reportedly London bound, if a Russian court approves her request to leave the country
Dec 19, 2024 19:17This is still an unconfirmed story at the moment. But as she's a British citizen, the UK is the obvious place for her to go if she doesn't want to stay in Moscow. The possibility of her fleeing to London is something the government will very likely have been planning for.
I think the Metropolitan Police and the UK Foreign Secretary will have something to say.
If she does land in England, I’m pretty sure she’ll be arrested as soon as she gets off the plane.
She and her husband have a lot to explain: war crimes, human rights abuses, and Captagon manufacturing. Etc
She's under sanctions so her life in London wouldn't necessarily be easy. She is a British citizen, though, so unless that is rescinded, they can't stop her from entering the country. As to whether she can be arrested, I'm not sure what the evidence against her, personally, is.
