A group of Australian women and children, often referred to as 'ISIS brides' and families of foreign fighters, attempted to leave a camp in Syria to return to Australia but were forced to turn back. The camp, known as al-Hol, is where many families linked to the Islamic State group have been held. Reports indicate that most families of foreign fighters have now left this camp.
Several European countries are bringing back citizens who were connected to the Islamic State group from camps in Syria and Iraq. The UK has quietly repatriated some women and children, while three former child soldiers have asked France to bring them home. In Syria, wives and widows of ISIS fighters are being held in isolated camps and are hoping for amnesty from the local government.
