2:37Now PlayingA British doctor who died while being held by Syrian authorities was effectively murdered, a Foreign Office minister has said.
Dr Abbas Khan, 32, an orthopaedic surgeon from Streatham, south London, had been held in Syria for more than a year but died only days before he expected to be released.
He was seized by government troops in the rebel-held city of Aleppo after entering the country on a humanitarian mission without a visa.
Foreign Office minister Hugh Robertson said: "There is no excuse whatsoever for the treatment that he has suffered by the Syrian authorities who have in effect murdered a British national who was in their country to help people injured during their civil war."
