Several sources have confirmed that nine young British medical students are believed have travelled to ISIS controlled territory after travelling to Syria. The group includes four women and five men crossed, who crossed the border from Turkey last week, who hid their plans from their families and friends. The group is believed to be in the IS stronghold of Tel Abyad.
According to the youngsters' families, they travelled yesterday to an outpost near the border between Turkey and Syria in a desperate bid to persuade them to come home. Turkish opposition politician, Mehmet Ali Ediboglu, alleged that “they have been cheated, brainwashed. That is what I, and their relatives, think,” adding that “we all assume that they are in Tel Abyad now, which is under Isis control. The conflict out there is fierce, so medical help must be needed.”
Mr Ediboglu explained that “let’s not forget about the fact that they are doctors," adding that "they went there to help, not to fight. So this case is a little bit different.” The group, in their late teens and early 20s, are all Britons of Sudanese descent studying at a medical school in Khartoum. Mr Ediboglu alleged that “these kids were born and raised in England, but they were sent to Sudan to study at medical school,” adding that “I’ve asked the families why they sent their children to study there, and as I understood it, they wanted them to experience a more Islamic culture and not to forget their roots.”
