Appeal for British medics
Print Edition
A group of British medical students of Sudanese origin who went missing after traveling to Turkey are feared to have crossed into Syria to join the Islamic State group as doctors, reports said yesterday.
The families of the students have traveled to the Turkey-Syria border in an appeal for them to return home before it is too late, a Turkish opposition MP said.
According to Britain’s The Guardian newspaper and the BBC, the nine young British medical students flew to Istanbul from the Sudanese capital Khartoum on March 12 and then overland toward Syria.
They have been joined by two other medics from the United States and Canada, also of Sudanese origin, the BBC said.
“The families of the young people have been in Turkey to search for them and bring them back,” said Turkish MP Mehmet Ali Ediboglu of the Republican People’s Party.
