- Jack Letts appeals for repatriations from Iraq in 'out of the blue' phone call to parents
Jack Letts, a British-born Canadian detained in Syria and transferred to Iraq, unexpectedly called his parents after nearly a decade. He urged Canadian and UK authorities to repatriate foreign nationals held in Iraq due to alleged Islamic State ties. His parents expressed shock and hope that the call reflects Iraqi pressure for repatriations.
