I have known #JohnLetts, on and off, for 25 years. He and Sally Lane are no terrorists. They were trying to get their son OUT of Syria and AWAY from ISIS. Any parent would have done the same. This is not justice.

The law under which they have been convicted is ridiculous. There was no intent to fund terrorism - and they did not do so. They were trying to do something completely different - rescue their son. Yet they are convicted of it.
The only way of getting Jack out of Syria was to pay a people smuggler. Otherwise he would have been stuck there and almost certainly killed. They had no intention of keeping him out of the reach of the authorities - quite the opposite in fact.
