According to The Daily Mail, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government could not allow her to return to Britain because the decision “cannot be made on medical grounds alone.”
According to The Guardian, Foreign Minister David Lammy had previously told MPs about the possible return of Asma Asad, who was born and raised in Acton: “I want to confirm that this is a person on the sanctions list. She is not welcome here in the UK.’
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, when asked whether she should be stripped of her citizenship like those Britons who joined the Islamic State, said it was “too early” for such discussions.
In 2012, Asma Asadová, known as the Rose in the Desert, was placed on the British and EU sanctions list, when her assets were frozen and she was banned from traveling. The reason is the suspicion that it played a significant role in supporting Bashar Assad during the Syrian civil war. According to her critics, she allegedly created a tangle of authorities that oversaw everything from Internet access to the distribution of foreign aid, where she determined who would receive it.
The Guardian already wrote in 2021 that he may lose his British citizenship after the London police opened a preliminary investigation that he initiated and supported the commission of war crimes.
Asad is now in Moscow, where she is being treated for leukemia and has only a fifty percent chance of survival. Her father, who was a very successful and respected doctor in Britain, flew to Moscow to see her. According to the Daily Beast server, he denied that she wanted to go to Britain for a divorce. He stated that the reasons are medical. Although she is “receiving the best possible treatment”, her health “cannot be adequately monitored in Moscow”.
