Australian citizens with alleged IS ties depart Syria’s Roj camp for repatriation

Thirty-four Australian women and children with alleged IS links left Roj camp for Damascus but were returned due to coordination issues, camp officials said.

  • A group of 34 Australian citizens from 11 families with alleged ties to IS left Syria's Roj camp on Monday to begin their journey back to Australia, accompanied by relatives.
  • Roj camp houses around 2,200 people from 50 nationalities, mostly women and children, with supposed links to the Islamic State militant group.
  • Human rights groups have criticized the poor living conditions and violence in the camps, but many countries have been reluctant to repatriate their citizens detained there.
