Jihadi Jack Seeks Repatriation to Canada

Jack Letts, a 29-year-old dual British-Canadian citizen known as 'Jihadi Jack', has pleaded for repatriation to Canada from a Syrian prison where he has been detained for over seven years. In a recent interview with CTV News, Letts, who fled the UK to fight for ISIS in 2014, expressed a willingness to serve time in a Canadian prison, stating, "At least let me rot in a prison in Canada." He denied being a member of ISIS, attributing previous statements to fear and naivety. Letts's mother, Sally Lane, condemned both the Canadian and British governments for their inaction, claiming his health has deteriorated significantly, and warned that he could die if not repatriated. The interview marks Letts's first media appearance since 2019, shedding light on his situation in a Syrian prison near Raqqa.
