Mother of man jailed in Syria for Islamic State links calls for his repatriation to UK or Canada
AI Summary
The mother of Jack Letts, a British-born man detained in Syria for nearly nine years for alleged ISIS links, is appealing for his repatriation to the UK or Canada. This comes as the US plans to move 7,000 ISIS-linked prisoners from Syria to Iraq. Letts, who traveled to Syria at 18 and was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017, has been held without trial since. His UK citizenship was revoked in 2019, making him solely a Canadian national. His mother fears he may face the death penalty in Iraq and urges the UK or Canada to put him on trial at home if evidence exists. She has had no contact with him for over a decade and his last known location was near Raqqa in November 2024.
