Syria’s Assad allows exiled uncle to return to avoid prison

Associated Press  

BEIRUT — President Bashar Assad allowed his exiled uncle back into Syria to avoid serving a four-year prison term in France, where he had spent more than 30 years, a Syrian pro-government newspaper reported late Friday. Al-Watan, a pro-Syrian government newspaper, reported the return of the elder Assad, who fled Syria in 1984 after he led a failed coup attempt against his brother, late President Hafez Assad. Rifaat Assad “never fled French justice, and remains free in his movements to this day,” his French lawyer Cedric Antony-Btesh said in a written statement to The Associated Press. Late President Hafez Assad allowed his younger brother to return briefly to Syria in the 1990s to attend his mother’s funeral.
