A British surgeon accused of joining ISIS is begging his former patients in the UK to help him overturn the refusal of British authorities to allow him back into the country.

Muhammad Saqib Raza, 40, from Leicester, was captured over a year ago attempting to smuggle himself out of Syria and since has been held in a jail run by Kurdish forces a four-hour drive from Raqqa, the former capital of the recently annihilated caliphate.
