Claim: Photo of Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma al-Assad in Moscow, Russia after rebels toppled his Government in Syria.
Fact-check: 2023 Photo Misrepresented as Bashar al-Assad's First Visuals in Moscow After Fleeing to Russia - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shows bashar al-assad and his wife, asma, visiting syrian earthquake survivors in the city of aleppo in february 2023. although reports suggest that assad and his family have been granted asylum in russia, this viral photo is old and unrelated to his asylum in russia. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
