British doctor dies in Syrian jail

Quote:

A British surgeon, imprisoned in Syria for over a year, has died in detention his family has told the BBC.

Dr Abbas Khan, a 32-year-old orthopaedic surgeon from Streatham, south London, travelled to the city of Aleppo last year to help civilians.

His brother Afroze said the Syrian National Security Agency had promised his release this week but on Monday it said he had died.

It doesn't surprise me that he's dead. Tragic!

RIP
