Sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia, how Assad whiles away the days with

Syria's former leader, Bashar al-Assad, has been sentenced to death in absentia for war crimes.

In the trial held in Syria, in addition to the former dictator who remained in power for a long time, Atef Najib was also a defendant. Najib had been the head of Assad's political security in the southern Syrian province of Daraa. He was present in court and was also sentenced to death.

A trial has been underway in Syria for months against senior officials of the Assad regime. Assad was overthrown in December 2024, after 24 years in power and a civil war that left hundreds of thousands of people dead.

The judges justified Tuesday's decision with "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" committed by Assad after the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011.

This is the first court ruling against Assad, who was ousted from power in December 2024 by Islamist fighters and then fled into exile in the Russian capital, Moscow.

What is Assad doing today?

According to reports, the former dictator enjoys the protection of Russia, although his relationship with the Kremlin appears to have cooled significantly.

Vladimir Putin is known to have a hard time with weakness. Shortly after Assad's overthrow, the Kremlin suddenly called its former ally "incompetent."

Moreover, after the change of power in Syria, the Russians began to build relations with the country's new strongman. As a result, the two old enemies came into physical contact twice, when Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the Kremlin.

According to information from Assad's close circle, the former dictator spends entire days in front of the computer playing video games.

Meanwhile, Syria and Russia are said to have held talks on a possible extradition of Assad, although such a scenario is considered highly unlikely.

As time passes in exile, a frustrated Bashar al-Assad is reportedly considering returning to his old profession: he is a doctor specializing in ophthalmology.

In his private life, too, things seem to be going badly. Shortly after his arrival in exile, it was reported that his wife, Asma, was planning a divorce. (BILD)
