New images have emerged of Jack Letts, popularly known as Jihadi Jack, from an overcrowded Syrian prison a few days ago, and his parents requested on Oct. 4 he be allowed to return to the United Kingdom to stand trial.

Letts, a 23-year-old British ISIS recruit, was filmed in an orange jumpsuit in a Syrian jail overcrowded with ISIS terrorists after they were captured by the Kurdish militia, reported the Daily Mail. Letts has been stripped of his UK citizenship and has been behind bars in a Kurdish prison since 2017 and these are his first images since his imprisonment.
