The mother of a man stripped of his British citizenship and held in an Islamic State prison in Syria said he had been “left to die" by the UK after prisons in northeast Syria were caught up in violent clashes between government and Kurdish-led forces.
Sally Lane, 63, said her son Jack Letts, 30, and dozens of others with ties to Britain, are “sitting ducks” who have been “left to fend for themselves” as the detention centres for those accused of affiliations with Isis have become the frontline in ferocious fighting.
