Two of four Canadian women repatriated from Syria arrested in Montreal: lawyer
The national police force said it's seeking a terrorism peace bond as the women had their first court appearance on Thursday.
The government said it took "extraordinary steps to repatriate" the 14, who were part of a Federal Court case against the federal government. Global Affairs Canada said Canadian law enforcement will lay charges against individuals being repatriated to Canada if there's "sufficient evidence" of criminal wrongdoing.
Resolving the "humanitarian and security challenges" are a key U.S. priority, according to U.S. State Department principle deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel. Alexandra Bains, director of Families Against Violent Extremism, said her organization has set up the newly repatriated Canadians and their children with psychosocial support organizations across the country.
