Two Canadian women, three teen girls called family from Syrian camp, lawyer says
A lawyer for two Canadian women and three teen girls, who were set to be repatriated from northeastern Syria earlier this month, says they were mistreated by guards and are being detained in a camp primarily holding family members of individuals with alleged links to the Islamic State.
Mr. Al-Khatib said while those still in Syria were concerned about their safety, the Canadian government told them they had communicated with Kurdish forces running the Al-Hol camp. Mr. Al-Khatib said Canada needs to take immediate steps to ensure the women and girls are safe and repatriated.“The government has to provide answers to the family and to the public.”
