John Letts and Sally Lane

Stephen Sackur speaks to the parents of Jack Letts, who left Britain to live in the so-called IS Calpihate. Now imprisoned by Syrian Kurdish forces, what will become of him?

John Letts and Sally Lane are the parents of one such prisoner, British born Jack Letts. He left the UK in 2014 to live in the so called IS Caliphate. Since then he's had his British citizenship revoked and his parents have been convicted under UK anti-terror laws for sending him money. What will become - what should become - of Jack Letts?
