(Middle East Eye) The mother of Jack Letts, a British-Canadian man held among suspected Islamic State group (IS) fighters in prison in northeast Syria, has hailed Canada’s decision to repatriate him along with 22 other of its citizens.
Speaking to Middle East Eye, Sally Lane said: “We’re overjoyed about this news. It feels surreal as we’ve been battling to get Jack back for so long, but the news has gone round the world so it must be true.”
Canada said on Saturday that it would take back the group of citizens, who include six women, 13 infants and four men, after relatives of the detainees took the government to court over the violation of their charter rights.
