Mrs Assad was born in the UK and went to school in Acton, west London. She graduated in computer science at King’s College London and went to work for Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan in London, New York and Paris, before moving to Damascus full-time. Under section 40 of the 1981 British Nationality Act, a Home Secretary “may by order deprive a person of a citizenship status if the Secretary of State is satisfied that deprivation is conducive to the public good”.
“There’s a lot of moving parts in that, a lot of risks, I absolutely accept, and challenges, but they are going to be best met if we work with our allies towards that peaceful resolution and the rejection, the utter rejection, of terrorism and violence.” She added: “While Assad may have sought sanctuary in Russia, we look to the Foreign Secretary to explain what steps will be taken to gather evidence of the crimes his reprehensible regime is responsible for, and the actions being taken to bring him to face justice.
