Fawaz Akhras and his wife Shar Otri left their home in North Acton a week ago, their neighbours say. The couple are the parents of Asma al-Assad, who married the recently overthrown Syrian president in 2000 when he was studying in the capital.
Another neighbour in their street added: They have been very quiet since 2012, and have been almost invisible since then. The rapid collapse of the Assad regime saw a coalition of rebel groups seize control of Damascus on Sunday.
His comments came after the Prime Minister said it was too early to say whether the Government would strip Mrs Assad of her British citizenship. We are far too early in any decisions about anything.
There are 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.
