The Government of Canada has agreed to repatriate six Canadian women and 13 children detained in subhuman conditions in Islamic State jihadist organization family camps in northeastern Syria.
The lawyer representing the families in Canada, Lawrence Greenspon, confirmed the repatriation Friday to Canadian broadcaster CTV in a deal that does not, however, cover four other male detainees whose names appeared in the negotiation.
The repatriation agreement is confidential and does not specify the date of return of the detainees beyond «a mutually agreed timetable» with the Kurdish forces running the Al Hol and Roj camps.
The latest report by the NGO Human Rights Watch, published last December, estimates that more than 40,000 foreigners, mostly children, remain in the camps under threat of Turkish artillery attacks, disease and violent attacks by Islamic extremists and Islamic State sleeper cells in these camps.
