Netherlands to repatriate 40 citizens from Syrian camps

THE HAGUE, 02 November 2022, (TON): Twelve women and 28 children will be repatriated to the Netherlands from detention camps in northern Syria, the Dutch government announced, making the country’s largest group yet to be brought back.

They will face charges on their return for joining Daesh.

The move comes after a Dutch court in May recommended that the women be returned immediately to the Netherlands, or that a commitment to return then be made within four months.

Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra and Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgoz-Zegerius said “the women will be arrested after arrival in the Netherlands and will be tried.”
