Canadian authorities arrest 2 women repatriated from NE Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Canadian authorities arrested two Canadian women who were repatriated from a camp for Islamic State (ISIS) family members in northeast Syria and they are expected to appear in a Brampton, Ont., court on Tuesday, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said.
The RCMP reported that the women are scheduled to appear for a bail hearing.
However, the Mounties seek a terrorism peace bond against them under the Criminal Code.
On April 6, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) handed over four women and ten children of ISIS families to a Canadian delegation.
This came in a meeting between senior officials from the Canadian Foreign Ministry and the Foreign Relations Department of the AANES.
On Friday, another woman of the repatriated Canadian citizens was released on bail in Edmonton, pending a terrorism peace bond application.
A terrorism peace bond allows a court to order a person to enter into an agreement to keep the peace and be of good behavior or risk a prison sentence.
