Jack Abraham Letts is a British-born Muslim convert. He is alleged to be a member of the terrorist group, ISIS. He is known as Jihadi Jack, the nickname given by the British media.
Jihadi Jack was born in 1995, in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He holds Canadian-Britain citizenship and belongs to white ethnicity. However, he is a Muslim. He was born to a father named John Letts and a mother named Sally Lane. His father is a Canadian organic farmer while his mother is a former Oxfam fundraising officer. He attended Cherwell School. He converted to Islam and then he attended various local mosques and learned Arabic to read the Koran. He had developed severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at that time.
Jihadi Jack came up to the news on January 2016, when he was accused of joining the terrorist group ISIS. At that time he and his parents denied it to be true claiming it just a search for truth. He also had made a statement that he hated his parents as they didn't believe in Allah and rejected the religion of truth. He stated that he hated ISIS more than the Americans hate them. He was imprisoned by ISIS and his parents were also under restrictions imposed by the UK media. He shared a photograph of himself in 2015 performing a one-finger salute associated with ISIS.
Jihadi Jack was detained by the Kurdish YPG militia while he seeking to escape from the Battle of Raqqa/ISIS-held territory. When he informed about getting in custody, his parents asked the British authorities to help him but they didn't. His parents were in a seven-day hunger strike for their son and even launched a petition to Secure the release of Jack Letts who is detained in northern Syria. The Uk government refused to extradite him, a diplomatic situation in which the Canadian government has intervened. An exclusive interview was taken with Letts where he requested the British Government to allow him to phone his parents. On August 18, 2019, the British government revoked Letts' British citizenship. In response, Canadian Public Safety Minister Goodale described the move as a unilateral action to off-load responsibilities, leaving Canda responsible for further diplomatic assistance for Letts.
Jihadi Jack has a slim body build. His height of 5 feet 8 inches (approx) and body weight is unknown.
Jihadi Jack is a married man. He married a local woman in Syria in 2016. He had a child with the woman with whom he has never met.
