Spain arrests 2 women repatriated lately from NE Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Spanish authorities arrested on Wednesday two women who have been repatriated lately from camps where Islamic State (ISIS) family members are held in northeastern Syria.
The Spanish National court released a statement in which a judge said the two women, Yolanda Martinez Cobos and Luna Fernandez Grande, should be held because they are a “concrete flight risk.”
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) handed over on Jan. 10 two Spanish women and 13 children of the family members of ISIS to Spain.
Cobos have four children and Grande have five, while the other four children were orphans whom Grande had cared for in Roj camp where all were held.
The Roj camp, the second dangerous camp after Hawl Camp, is run by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), it is a house for 806 families, including 2.800 individuals of Arabs and foreigners, mostly women and children of ISIS members who hail from 62 countries, according to previous reports published by North Press.
All the children were taken by the custody of Madrid’s regional social services.
The judge said, in his ruling, that the women and their husbands were part of “al-Andalus Brigade” set up in Madrid to “radicalize and recruit volunteers and help them reach Syria and Iraq” to fight for ISIS and carry out attacks.
The women supported ISIS before and after moving out to Syria and Iraq along with their husbands in 2014, according to the judge.
