OTTAWA — Six Canadian children have been repatriated from detention in northeastern Syria, but the whereabouts of their mother remained unclear Tuesday.
Global Affairs Canada said in a statement the focus is now on protecting the children's privacy and ensuring they receive the support and care needed to begin a new life.
Greenspon said while the woman managed to leave al-Roj detention camp, there was no indication of where she went. "We also extend our gratitude to the United States for its assistance in the repatriation of Canadians and for its valuable support throughout this process." A civil society delegation that visited Syrian prison camps last August called on Ottawa to provide immediate consular assistance to Canadian detainees and to swiftly repatriate all citizens wishing to return to Canada.
