Bashar al-Assad hospitalized in Moscow for nine days after suspected poisoning in exile; Russian officials silent.
Former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad was hospitalized in Moscow in critical condition on September 20 after a suspected poisoning at a guarded villa where he was living in exile, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
He remained in intensive care for nine days before being discharged.
The incident, which occurred after his ousting in December 2024 during a rebel offensive, has not been confirmed by Russian officials, who have not commented.
The motive behind the alleged attack remains unclear, with the watchdog ruling out the U.S. and Syrian government as suspects and suggesting the act may have aimed to discredit Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Assad’s brother and other former regime figures visited him during his stay.
