In the UK, the police launched a preliminary investigation against Asma al-Assad, the wife of the leader of the Syrian regime, Bashar Assad, for allegedly inciting and encouraging terrorist acts.
In the statement made by the International Chambers of Justice (Guernica 37), headquartered in London, the capital of England, it was emphasized that the regime has killed, arbitrarily detained, and tortured hundreds of thousands of civilians in the civil war that has been going on in Syria since 2011.
In the statement, which noted that influential figures encouraged war crimes against civilians, Asma al-Assad, the wife of Bashar Assad, was also counted among these people.
In the statement, it was stated that Esma Esad encouraged or incited terrorist acts by giving public support to the regime army, and it was stated that Guernica 37 has been investigating this issue for a while and presented two secret files to the war crimes unit of the police.
Noting that Asma al-Assad is a British citizen, the statement said, "If the evidence supports the claim, it is important not only to be stripped of citizenship but also to be prosecuted."
Asma al-Assad, who studied at King's College in London, moved to Syria in 2000 after marrying Bashar Assad.
