Asma al-Assad received chemotherapy treatment at a Syrian military hospital.

BEIRUT - Asma al-Assad, wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has fully recovered from breast cancer, she told state TV on Saturday, a year after it announced her diagnosis.

Activists and insurgents accuse Asma al-Assad, born in London to a family from Homs City, of being complicit in atrocities they accuse the Syrian government of committing. Her husband's enemies have dubbed her"the lady of death" while supporters praise her as"the jasmine of Damascus". A year ago, the Syrian presidency published a photo of Asma al-Assad hooked up to a drip, smiling and sitting next to her husband in a hospital room. It said she had started treatment for"a malignant tumor" that was discovered early.

"Those who sold their land and nation, who carried arms against their Syrian brothers under foreign orders," she said, responding to critics who had said she deserved the diagnosis."Do you think they have any room left for morals?"
