Vanessa Kirby, Stanley Tucci and Gillian Anderson back campaign to repatriate UK families detained in Syria

Celebrities including Vanessa Kirby, Stanley Tucci and Gillian Anderson have joined human rights advocates in urging the Government to repatriate British families detained in Syria.

It is estimated around 25 British families - mostly mothers and children - are currently detained in overcrowded and violent camps in northeast Syria after the collapse of the Islamic State.
