Ottawa: Four women and ten children have been repatriated by Canada from a detention camp for foreign militants of the Islamic State (IS) group in northeast Syria.
This is the fourth repatriation by Canada of citizens detained in Syrian camps for foreigners accused of links to ISIS.
Three women were arrested at the Montreal airport, before later appearing in court as part of a “terrorism peace bond application” – a type of order of non-communication in Canada.
A 38-year-old woman, whose identity has not been released, was transported to Alberta, a province in western Canada, and released on bail pending her next hearing.
“This is not a criminal complaint,” his lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, told the news agency. AFP. He added that prosecutors wanted to “ensure that the person complies with the (bail) conditions for up to a year.”
The two other women, Ammara Amjad and Dure Ahmed, “will remain in detention until their next court appearance, scheduled for next Tuesday,” Canadian police said.
“Everything’s good” as far as the fourth wife is concerned,” Greenspon said. The fourth woman is not facing criminal charges or a request for a peace bond.
“In total, 10 children have been repatriated and are with their families here in Canada,” Greenspon was quoted as saying on the website. Al JazeeraSaturday April 8, 2023.
It remains unclear whether any of the four repatriated women could be charged for their alleged involvement in ISIS.
“Where there is sufficient evidence, law enforcement and public safety agencies will independently take the necessary measures to keep our communities safe,” said a statement from the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs. .
Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was criticized for his slowness with the repatriation of Canadians held in Syrian camps, widely known for their poor conditions. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), more than 42,400 foreign adults and children accused of being affiliated with ISIS are still staying there.
The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday it was concerned about the “health and well-being” of Canadian children in Syrian camps.
Last October, Canada repatriated two women and two children detained in Syria. In 2020, Ottawa allowed the return of a five-year-old orphan after her uncle filed a lawsuit against the government.
Since the territorial defeat of ISIS in 2019, many countries have been reluctant to accept the repatriation of women and children of foreign militants fighting in Syria.
Countries around the world are still debating how to treat citizens who joined ISIS and now wish to return to their home countries.
