Something to hide? Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's close friendship with an aide has been revealed by Wikileaks.(Agencies) |
|
A key aide of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad is to be awarded a prestigious degree by one of Britain’s top universities. Lamis Omar has been studying for a doctorate at Durham, and is likely to receive her PhD in September. Emails obtained by the Wikileaks website suggest that Ms Omar enjoys a close friendship with Assad. Fellow students say she had a large picture of the dictator on the wall of her home in the university grounds. Officials at Durham University refused to say whether the institution has accepted money from the Assad regime in tuition fees. The emails appear to show that for the past four years, Ms Omar, who is believed to be in her mid-30s, has been working in Assad’s own department, known as the Ministry of Presidential Affairs. In more than 800 email exchanges between the pair, a picture emerges of a world of poetry and jokes. They appear to have a close friendship, in which he buys her gifts and she repeatedly says that she ‘loves’ him. In the emails she refers to Assad, who has been married to British-born Asma, 37, for 12 years, as the ‘sponsor’ of her course. Tory MP Robert Halfon said: ‘Ethical questions need to be asked as to why Durham University is providing an education to a member of the Assad regime. Given the murder of thousands of Syrians by the Assad regime, Durham should reconsider whether it awards this PhD.’ At Durham, her PhD thesis was on Shakespeare. Last night Durham University said: ‘We do not comment on the financial circumstances of individual students. Durham University does not have any formal or active links with the Syrian Government.’ A member of the House of Lords charged thousands of pounds to redesign the summer palace of Bashar al-Assad, emails obtained by Wikileaks reveal. Lord Kenilworth was hired to create a luxuriant new garden, including a spectacular water feature, at the Syrian dictator’s country residence near the coastal city of Latakia, the site of fierce fighting between government forces and rebels. The firm was commissioned by Assad in 2010. Initial stages of the work were priced at ￡176,500, with more bills to follow. Last night Lord Kenilworth said only: ‘We stopped working there 18 months ago. I can’t comment any further.’ (Read by Rosie Tuck. Rosie Tuck is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies) |
敘利亞總統(tǒng)巴沙爾?阿薩德的一位重要的女助手拉米斯?奧馬爾將獲得英國(guó)一所頂尖大學(xué)頒發(fā)的聲望很高的博士學(xué)位。拉米斯?奧馬爾正在杜倫大學(xué)攻讀博士，可能于今年9月份獲得學(xué)位。 維基解密網(wǎng)站所截獲的電子郵件顯示，奧馬爾與阿薩德關(guān)系非常親密。她的同學(xué)反映說，她在杜倫大學(xué)住所的墻上掛著一張阿薩德的大幅照片。 杜倫大學(xué)方面拒絕透露學(xué)校是否收取了來自阿薩德政權(quán)的學(xué)費(fèi)。 郵件顯示，大約35歲的奧馬爾過去四年里一直在阿薩德的個(gè)人機(jī)構(gòu)---總統(tǒng)事務(wù)部工作。 維基解密網(wǎng)站公布了所截獲的800多封電子郵件，這些電郵充滿了詩(shī)歌和笑話。 他們看起來關(guān)系很親密。阿薩德為她買禮物，而她一再表示她“愛”他。她還在電郵中把他稱作自己學(xué)費(fèi)的“贊助商”。阿薩德與現(xiàn)年37歲的妻子、出生于英國(guó)的阿斯瑪結(jié)婚已有12年。 英國(guó)保守黨國(guó)會(huì)議員羅伯特?阿爾豐說：“杜倫大學(xué)為什么招收了一名來自阿薩德政權(quán)的成員，這牽涉到道德問題。鑒于阿薩德政權(quán)害死了成千上萬的敘利亞人，杜倫大學(xué)應(yīng)該重新考慮是否頒發(fā)這個(gè)博士學(xué)位?！?/p> 奧馬爾在杜倫大學(xué)所寫的博士論文是有關(guān)莎士比亞的。杜倫大學(xué)昨晚表示，“我們不會(huì)評(píng)價(jià)某個(gè)學(xué)生的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。學(xué)校與敘利亞政府沒有任何正式或主動(dòng)的聯(lián)系?！?/p> 維基百科解密的郵件還顯示，英國(guó)上議院一位議員收取了數(shù)千英鎊為阿薩德重新設(shè)計(jì)夏宮。 上議院議員凱尼爾沃思受雇設(shè)計(jì)一座奢華的新花園，其中要設(shè)有壯觀的水景。這處夏宮位于阿薩德的鄉(xiāng)間宅邸，距離海濱城市拉塔基亞很近，這里也是政府軍和反叛者激戰(zhàn)的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。 阿薩德于2010年下令重修夏宮。工程初期的花費(fèi)就高達(dá)17.65萬英鎊，后期費(fèi)用更高。凱尼爾沃思昨晚只是說：“我們18個(gè)月前就停工了。我沒法做進(jìn)一步的評(píng)論?！?/p> 相關(guān)閱讀 奧朗德四子女與父親現(xiàn)女友“斷絕關(guān)系” （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯：陳丹妮） |
