Hidden high above Moscow, Syria’s former dictator Bashar al-Assad spends his exile in front of a screen.
Assad now lives quietly in a luxury tower in Moscow City — protected by Russia’s security services, surrounded by marble bathrooms and bodyguards, and reportedly addicted to online video games.
After his regime collapsed in December 2024, he fled to Moscow with his family. Under Vladimir Putin’s protection, he has vanished from public life.
Sources close to his former circle say he rarely leaves his apartments and spends long hours gaming online — his only escape from the isolation of exile.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
