U.N. says 55,000 linked to IS in Syria, Iraq should be tried or freed
2019-06-25
Geneva (IraqiNews.com) ‐ U.N. human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
chief Michelle Bachelet said on Monday that 55,000 captured Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
fighters, including foreigners, and their families detained in Syria and Iraq should face fair prosecution or be freed, Rooters reported.

States "must assume responsibility for their nationals" and should not inflict statelessness on fighters’ children who have already suffered so much, Bachelet also told the U.N. Human Rights Council as it opened a three-week session in Geneva.

The 55,000 include alleged imported muscle from nearly 50 countries and 11,000 family members held at the al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria "in deeply sub-standard conditions", she said.

Authorities in northeast Syria have been urging Western countries to take back citizens who joined Islamic State and their relatives after the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured the group’s last enclave this year.

"Foreign family members should be repatriated unless they are to be prosecuted for crimes in accordance with international standards. Children, in particular, have suffered grievous violations of their rights ‐ including those who may have been indoctrinated or recruited by ISIS to perpetrate violent acts," Bachelet said.
