Germany and Denmark repatriate 37 children and 11 ‘IS women’ from Syria

Germany says it has repatriated eight women, who had joined the so-called Islamic State (IS), and 23 children from a camp in northern Syria.

They were brought back in a joint operation with Denmark, which repatriated three women and 14 children, German officials said.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the women were in custody and faced a criminal investigation.

Hundreds of Europeans who joined IS are in Kurdish-run camps in northern Syria.

They were moved there along with thousands of others who were displaced after IS was declared territorially defeated in Syria and Iraq in March 2019.
