France repatriates 15 women, 32 children from Syrian jihadist camps

PARIS, 25 January 2023, (TON): French foreign ministry said “France repatriated 15 women and 32 children held in jihadist prison camps in northeastern Syria.”

The ministry said in a statement “the minors were handed over to the services in charge of child assistance and will be subject to medical and social monitoring.”

It added “the adults have been handed over to the competent judicial authorities.”

Since the caliphate fell in 2019, the return of family members of fighters who were captured or killed has been a thorny issue for European countries.
