International aid organisation Save the Children is acting as a litigation guardian for Australians detained in Syria, describing the camps as the 'worst place in the world to be a child'.
Legal action is being launched against the Australian government over Australians trapped in Syrian detention camps.
Legal action has been launched against the federal government in a "last resort" effort to repatriate Australian women and children trapped in Syrian detention camps. Save the Children is acting as a litigation guardian in this matter as the plaintiffs - the children and their mothers - are unable to properly instruct from north-east Syria.
"These kids have been through hell. Some of them were born in a detention camp in the middle of the Syrian dessert, there's no access to healthy, nutritious food," he said. The federal government said extensive and detailed individual security assessments were undertaken before the group were repatriated to Australia.
