Islam in Britain: Dr Abbas Khan

Dr Abbas Khan

My story today: In 2012 Dr Abbas Khan travelled out to Syria to treat civilians in Aleppo. But the British surgeon was captured by the regime and killed in custody a year later. Now, eight years after Abbas’ death, his legacy is inspiring a new generation of doctors. pic.twitter.com/reSeL2PDOM
