The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), revealed on Wednesday, that the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad narrowly survived an assassination attempt by poisoning while in Russia. The Observatory claimed on its official account on the social media platform X that Assad had been targeted with poison in an operation allegedly designed to embarrass the Russian government.
According to the Observatory’s report, Assad was discharged from a hospital in the outskirts of Moscow early on Tuesday, September 30, and his condition was described as currently stable. A source told the Observatory that access to Assad during his hospitalization was strictly restricted, with only his brother Maher al-Assad and the former Secretary-General of Presidential Affairs, Mansour Azzam, permitted to visit him.
