BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:20 A.M.) – The lead singer of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, helped reunite two children with their mother after they were abducted by their father and taken to Syria in 2014.
According to The Telegraph, Waters flew the mother, Felicia Perkins-Ferreira, from Trinidad and Tobago to Iraqi Kurdistan using his private jet.
With help from British human rights lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, the mother was able to secure the release of the children from the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.
The two children have since reunited with their mother for the first time in nearly five years.
The Telegraph said that the children had been living with their father in parts of Syria that were occupied by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh).
However, their father was killed during the Islamic State’s clashes with the U.S.-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Raqqa city in 2017.
