The British wife of Syria's fallen president, Bashar al-Assad, Asma al-Assad, has applied for divorce after expressing dissatisfaction with her life in Moscow, Turkish and Arab media reported on Sunday.
It is said that she seeks to move to London, further writes foreign media.
Asma applied to the Russian court and requested special permission to leave Moscow. Its application is said to be currently being praised by Russian authorities.
Asma is a dual British-Syrian citizen who was born and raised in London by Syrian parents, the BBC reported. Asma moved to Syria in 2000 and married Assad in the same year at the age of 25.
Although his asylum request was accepted, Bashar al-Assad is said to be still subject to serious restrictions. It is not allowed to leave Moscow or engage in any political activity.
Russian authorities have also frozen his assets and money. Its assets include 270kg of gold, $2 billion and 18 apartments in Moscow.
