Reports say that there was an attempt to kill former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in Moscow.
Ten months ago, Russia gave political asylum to the former dictator after he was deposed.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a well-known group that fights for human rights, stated that Assad was released from the hospital on the outskirts of Moscow on Monday. They said they got this information from a “private source.”
The insider added that Assad “had been poisoned” and that the goal of the killing was “to embarrass the Russian government and accuse it of being involved” in his death.
The story said that Assad’s health was now “stable.”
During a big security operation, it was stated that only his brother Maher Assad could visit him in the hospital.
So yet, the Russian government has not stated anything about the charges.
Earlier, unproven accusations suggested that he was poisoned and rushed to the hospital in “critical condition.”
There are claims that someone tried to kill Bashar al-Assad, the former president of Syria, in Moscow.
The new leaders in Syria want Assad to come back to their nation, but Russia has said no so far.
Putin directly protected Assad, his family, and members of his government.
Since arriving in Russia, Assad, who is 60 years old, has not been seen in public. People think that Russian secret services are keeping a close check on him.
There is no independent confirmation yet that Assad was poisoned.
A report from before Assad had been in Russia for less than a month said that he “complained to his security about feeling sick and having trouble breathing.”
On the other hand, this story was not confirmed.
The U.S. State Department says that the family of the former dictator is worth $2 billion. They put their money in a lot of accounts, dummy companies, offshore tax havens, and real estate investments.
Putin granted them a place to stay in December, so he, his British wife, and their three adult children left their mansions in Syria and traveled to Moscow to start a new life.
Asma al-Assad, the daughter of a London doctor who married into a brutal totalitarian family, is used to living in luxury.

While they were in exile, they undoubtedly used their family connections and wealth in Russia to keep up their rich lifestyle.
People think that the authoritarian dynasty has bought at least 20 homes in Moscow for more than £30 million in the last few years. This proves that the clan may live in Russia without worrying about their safety.
People think that Asma al-Assad, the daughter of a doctor from London who has been facing a very bad type of leukemia, came to Moscow with her daughter and two kids a few days before her husband left Syria for good.
When rebels took over Damascus, the capital city, they found secret tunnels under the house where the Assad family lived. The tyrant and his friends may have used these tunnels to get away.
Reports further stated that al-Assad might have left through Russia’s Khmeimim airbase. Flight trackers showed that a Russian plane took off from near the northern city of Latakia just a few hours before he was supposed to arrive in Moscow.
The rebels took over the Syrian capital quickly and without any resistance. This concluded a 13-year civil war and six decades of the Assad family’s rule.
Putin was quite ashamed when Moscow offered his government military and financial support and bombed Syria for years to keep the Assad tyranny in power.
