Kurdish authorities are turning the issue of releasing the Swedish IS women from camps there, as they are worried that they will not be able to be prosecuted in their home countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed the Swedish IS women in the Roj situation about the possibility of sending their children home.
According to a Swedish woman in the Roj camp that correspondent Cecilia Uddén interviewed, a visit came recently from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Of them, the Swedish women were informed about the possibility of sending their children home to Sweden.
It has been 1.5 years the so-called caliphate fell. Many children in these camps still live in hygiene misery, indoctrination and are seen by the outside world both as victims and as “ticking bombs”.
Some of the women thought that the Foreign Ministry visit would accelerate their chances of returning home to Sweden, but even if Sweden were to receive the IS women, it is highly unlikely that the Kurdish authorities would release them today.
Previously, the Kurdish authorities were anxious for countries such as Sweden, France and Germany to take care of their own jihadists. But now they say the opposite – that for the sake of IS victims, they can not let, for example, Swedish and Finnish women to their home countries.
Representatives of Kurdish autonomy in northeastern Syria are worried that countries such as Finland and Sweden will not be able to prosecute women.
Instead, hope International aid is being sought to prosecute women on the ground and to de-radicalize children, by placing them in special child centers and schools in locations.
The children should then meet their mothers as little as possible, says a Kurdish representative, despite violating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to separate children from their parents.
“In civilized countries, even the most heinous criminals get a fair trial. If what we have done is criminal, we will be held accountable in court. But our children are small. They have not committed any crime. They have not contributed in any way to what happened. We are Swedish. Take us home. If not for our sake, then for our children’s, ”says the Swedish woman in the camp that Swedish Radio’s correspondent Cecilia Uddén interviewed for Good Morning World in P1.
