Tragic, the corpse of a British woman who was killed fighting ISIS in Syria will be left to rot

News24xx.com -  Tragic, a British woman who also a soldier, died when fighting ISIS in Syria.

That woman named Anna Campbell, 26, from Lewes, East Sussex died on March 15 2018 in a Turkish missile strike while travelling in a convoy in Afrin after joining a Kurdish fighting unit.

And now, her corpse has been 'left to rot' on the battlefield as her father urged the government to bring her body home. 

Her father named Dirk Campbell, 67 years old,  has accused the government not respect with the case of his daughter.

In an open letter to the Government, Mr Campbell claimed Turkish authorities had flouted international humanitarian law by not doing their duty in searching for the dead and preventing their bodies being 'left to rot'

And he need a meeting with Alistair Burt, minister of state for the Middle East, to give him little confidence of progress, because until now, his daughter's body has still not been brought back to the UK.

The 67-year-old has since met officials after calling on the Government to do more to address the 'atrocities' in Syria and to help him be reunited with his daughter.

As information, Anna Campbell is the eighth Briton to have died when fighting ISIS. Known, Campbell flew to Syria through Lebanon about a year ago where she joined the YPJ, an all-female brigade of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), which has about 50,000 Kurdish men and women fighting against ISIS in the north of the country.

In a YPJ video filmed before she left for Afrin, Campbell told the camera said she was 'happy and proud' to join her friends and defend against fascism.

Conflict between Turkey and Kurdish groups has been inflamed since January.

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: 'We have been in contact with Anna's family following her sad death in Syria. But, the UK government has no consular presence in Syria, our ability to help is extremely limited."

As information, the UK has repeatedly raised its concerns with Turkey following its intervention into Northern Syria.
