Denmark repatriates woman, 2 children from NE Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Denmark repatriated on Thursday a woman and her two children from a camp of Islamic State (ISIS) family members in northeast Syria.
Shortly after touching down in Denmark, the mother was arrested and charged with the promotion of terrorist activities and obtaining entry and residence in a conflict area.
Meanwhile, the two children have been placed in the care of the municipality.
There are also two mothers and three children left in Roj camp, in northeast Syria.
Roj is one of several detention camps in northeast Syria that house thousands of people, including many foreign nationals, since the SDF and the 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.
ISIS lost its final stronghold in Syria in March 2019. The SDF, with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, defeated ISIS after fierce battles in the town of Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.
After Baghouz, thousands of ISIS militants were transferred to prisons, while their families were transferred to Hawl and Roj camps in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)-held areas.
