AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES OF IS FIGHTERS RETURNED FROM CAMP IN SYRIA

  • 29/10/2022

Family members of IS fighters, including four women and thirteen children, have been returned to Australia. After spending years in Syrian detention facilities, the group finally arrived on Saturday. Approximately 60 Australians will be sent home, according to officials.

Since IS was deemed territorially defeated in Syria and Iraq in March 2019, thousands of individuals who joined IS and the families of those who died have been detained in Syrian detention facilities.

Since then, Australian women and children who were the wives, sons, or daughters of IS fighters who had died or been imprisoned have resided in the al-Hol and Roj detention facilities in Kurdish-controlled northeastern Syria.

The UN issued a warning earlier this year that the conditions in the camps amounted to torture for those residing there.
