British-born aid worker in Syria says citizenship loss 'unfair'
Asked by the BBC whether he was aligned to a group linked to al-Qaeda, Mr Sharif said:"Of course not.
"He's been driving ambulances, delivering aid. He's done nothing to warrant the deprivation of his citizenship." And pressed on whether his admission that he had to defend himself meant he had fought and carried a weapon, Mr Sharif confirmed that was the case - but said that did not mean he was a fighter.
