Asma al-Assad, the British wife of deposed Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, has filed for divorce.
The 49-year-old former first lady, currently in exile in Moscow, is said to want to move to London.
According to Huja's media, it is said that she is unhappy with her life under the watchful eye of Putin's regime in Russia.
Born in London in 1975 to Syrian parents, Asma al-Assad has dual British-Syrian citizenship. She completed studies in computer science and French literature at King's College London before pursuing a career in investment. Asma married Bashar al-Assad in December 2000.
The couple has three children: Hafez, Zein and Karim. Asma has reportedly sought to exile herself to London with her children since the start of the Syrian uprising.
Bashar al-Assad, now living under asylum in Moscow, faces severe restrictions imposed by the Russian authorities. Although his request for asylum has been accepted, he is prohibited from leaving Moscow or engaging in political activities. Russian authorities have also frozen his assets, which include 270 kilograms of gold, $2 billion in cash and 18 properties in Moscow, reports claim.
