Bashar al-Assad was reportedly poisoned in Moscow, hospitalized, and is under Russian protection, sparking unconfirmed claims of political motives.
Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who fled Damascus in December 2024, was reportedly hospitalized in Moscow after an alleged poisoning attempt, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and other media outlets.
The attack, which occurred in the Russian capital, led to his critical condition, with only his brother Maher Assad and former aide Mansour Azzam permitted visits.
The Observatory suggested the incident may have been intended to discredit Russia, which granted Assad asylum.
No official confirmation has been issued by Russian authorities or the Assad family, and the motive, perpetrator, and exact details remain unverified.
Assad, 60, has not appeared publicly since relocating to Russia, where he and his family are under protection.
The new Syrian government has demanded his extradition, which Russia has refused.
Según los informes, Bashar al-Assad fue envenenado en Moscú, hospitalizado y está bajo protección rusa, provocando afirmaciones no confirmadas de motivos políticos.
