Australia investigates ISIS-linked families returned from Syrian Al-Roj camp

1K0

Australia's federal government has committed to investigating families with ISIS links who recently returned to the country from Syria's Al-Roj detention camp. Child welfare advocates have raised concerns about the wellbeing of children in these families following their return. The repatriation reflects Australia's policy of bringing back citizens detained in Syrian camps following the Islamic State's territorial collapse. The government's investigation will determine appropriate support and security measures for the returnees.
