Jo Cox

Tributes to British MP Jo Cox have poured in from politicians and public figures around the world.

The Labour MP, who was shot and stabbed after holding an advice session for her constituents in West Yorkshire, had campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU and championed the contribution of immigrants to British society.

She was also an active supporter of Syrian opposition groups against the country's President, Bashar al-Assad.

"It's a death in the family," says former Labour leader Neil Kinnock.
