Sick Brit stuck in Syria camp as brother pleads for her to be allowed back to UK

A British man has gone public with his pleas to evacuate his dangerously ill sister from a detention camp in northeast Syria.

Speaking to the press for the first time, Owen* says their family’s biggest fear is that she will soon die — leaving his nephew an orphan in a camp which has been dubbed “Europe’s Guantanamo”.

“My sister has limited time, her condition is getting worse and my fear is that she could pass away. I don't want that. I don't want that for her child. I want them to come back,” Owen told the Mirror.
