Former Syrian dictator's British wife has a 50/50 chance of surviving cancer.

In the early 2000s, Asma al-Assad tied the knot with her husband, ex-Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. However, recent reports have surfaced about her deteriorating health condition. It is said that she is currently battling cancer and is unable to be in the presence of others due to her weakened immune system.

There were rumors that Asma was planning to leave her husband and return to the United Kingdom, which was met with criticism from those in Westminster. Conservative MP Alicia Kearns made a bold statement, urging Asma to come to the UK and face prosecution for her involvement in war crimes.

Following the collapse of their regime in Syria, the couple sought refuge in Russia. And now, Russian media has revealed that Asma has been given a 50% chance of survival as she fights leukemia. It's heartbreaking to know that she is being isolated to prevent infection and cannot even be in the same room as other people, as reported by the Telegraph.

Taking care of Asma is her father, Fawaz Akhras, a renowned cardiologist based in Harley Street. He is said to be devastated by his daughter's illness. This is not the first time that Asma has battled cancer, as she had previously been treated for breast cancer and declared cancer-free in 2019. Unfortunately, her leukemia has resurfaced after being in remission for some time.

There were speculations that Asma was tired of the restrictions imposed on her in Russia and wanted to end her marriage with Bashar to seek treatment in London. However, the Kremlin has denied these rumors, and the Assad family has not made any comments on the matter. The Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, has made it clear that Asma is not welcome to return to the UK, and the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has mentioned that it's too early to decide if she will be stripped of her UK citizenship.

Syrian activists are also calling for the British government to revoke Asma's citizenship, similar to what happened to Shemima Begum. Karim, a volunteer with the Syrian While Helmets, expressed his thoughts, stating that Asma should be treated the same way as Shemima and have her British citizenship taken away, leaving her stranded in a detention camp.
