An activist working with the family of an alleged terrorist connected to Chatham and held for the past five years in Syria says Jack Letts could wind up living…
“The judge said that in the context of reminding the government that the conditions of the women and children were bad enough, but that the conditions of the men are worse. He called them dire,” the activist said.
Brown noted in his ruling the men were in custody because the Kurds suspected they were part of ISIL. The judge, though, said federal government lawyers did not allege in court that “any of the engaged in or assisted in terrorist activities.” John Letts, Jack’s father, said the government wasn’t able present any evidence against his son or any of the other detainees because there isn’t any.
“I’ve had my hopes and dreams crushed so many times that I’m numb and struggle to feel any joy with this decision. I just can’t let my guard down yet,” he said.John Letts said he and his wife also remain concerned for their son’s welfare since they haven’t had any “proof of life” in nearly three years, “so we don’t actually know he’s alive.”
