Denmark to repatriate woman, 2 children from NE Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Denmark is due to repatriate a mother and her two children from a camp for Islamic State (ISIS) family members in northeast Syria, the Danish Ministry of Immigration and Integration said on Friday.
The government of Denmark has decided to offer evacuation to another two children and their mother from Roj Camp south of Derik, northeast Syria, Immigration Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek said in a written comment.
The woman is of Moroccan background and her children are Danish.
Roj is one of several detention camps in northeast Syria that house thousands of people, including many foreign nationals, since Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS declared the territorial defeat of the terror group in March 2019.
It currently houses 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 report published by North Press.
