Australia Arrests Three Women Returning from Syria Over Alleged ISIS Ties and Slavery Charges

Updated on

Counter‑terrorism forces arrested two Australian women and their children on May 7 after they returned from Syria. The detainees, all Australian citizens, had allegedly joined the Islamic State in the early 2010s and spent years in a Syrian detention camp following the group’s collapse. Their arrest is linked to alleged crimes against humanity committed while supporting the extremist organization.

    1. There are very serious limits on what can be done with respect to preventing a citizen of a country returning to their country.
    2. There is a reason why the government has drawn a very hard line saying we will do nothing to assist. The government's complete lack of support for these individuals is a direct reflection of the decisions that they made.
    3. The individuals concerned traveled … in support of one of the most horrific terrorist organizations we've seen in recent history or in our lifetimes.

    1. This remains an active investigation into very serious allegations.
    2. Australian joint counter-terrorism teams methodically investigated all Australians who travelled to declared conflict areas and will ensure those who are alleged to have committed a criminal offence are put before the courts.
    3. All I can say is the safety of the community is the number one priority for all agencies involved.
    4. The women will appear before a court once they have been charged.

    1. Some individuals will be arrested and charged. Some will face continued investigations when they arrive in Australia.

    1. It is appropriate that they undergo support: children who've been subject and exposed to all sorts of horrors in those camps.
    2. I do have sympathy for the children, who are victims of decisions that their parents have made.
    3. I have absolutely zero sympathy for these people.

    1. One of the women I spoke to said that what she missed the most was coffee. She said she couldn't wait to get to Little Collins Street in Melbourne to have a coffee again.
