British film-maker killed by Isis militants in Syria | World news | The Guardian: Aksoy, a Turkish Kurd who moved to Britain with his family 22 years ago, is believed to be the fifth British citizen killed while volunteering with the US-led militia spearheading the battle against Isis in Syria.
Friends confirmed his death on Tuesday night as about 300 British Kurds, including his parents, held a twilight vigil at the Kurdish Community Centre in north London.
“Mehmet never fought – that was never his plan,” friend Aladdin Sinayic, 38, from London, told the Guardian. “He told me just before he left that there are better ways he could fight Isis than with a gun. He said there are many great fighters offering their lives to defeat Isis but they are not visible to the world. He wanted to tell their stories and show the world what the Kurds are doing in Syria.”
