Nearly 5,700 people allegedly linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) are being detained in Iraq.
The thousands of boys and men sent to Iraq deserve humane treatment and due process, just as the thousands of survivors of ISIS crimes deserve genuine justice.

Responsibility over Roj Camp is shifting to the Syrian government, with which most countries of origin have diplomatic relations. This creates a new opportunity to end years of arbitrary detention and find durable, rights-based solutions for the families.

In a New Era for #Syria, States Must Take Responsibility for Their IS-Affiliated Prisoners and Families
It is a matter not only of justice, law, and human dignity, but also an obligation to relieve Syrians of this war legacy as they rebuild their society

”The suspension of U.S. humanitarian aid has exacerbated already dire conditions in al-Hol and Roj camps in northeast Syria, leaving tens of thousands of displaced people, including children, at risk, international organizations have warned.” npasyria.com/en/121840/
Tak til Solidaritet for at have skrevet om vores arbejde og menneskerettighedsprisen som vi fik i december. Det var en stor ære at modtage prisen.
Vi forstætter arbejdet for de børn, der stadig er fanget i Syrien og de børn, der er kommet hjem.

”What is striking is that the vast majority of the detained were, and remain, minors. The latest counts estimate children make up two-thirds of those detained in camps.”
It is a major international scandal that 30 000 children are held detained in camps! newrepublic.com/article/1893…
We are incredibly happy that we have received the Human Rights Award 2024.
We are very proud and grateful to have been honored with such a prestigious award for our work in the fight to bring Danish children home from the Syrian detention camps.

"Jonas" panicked when he realized that his aunt would not be allowed to come to Denmark with him when he is brought home from the detention camp with his mother.
We have sent an appeal to @larsloekke for the family to be repatriated together.

Court in #Austria rules that children along with their mother must be repatriated!
The Foreign Ministry had so far refused to evacuate the family, but according to The Federal Administrative Court, their lives are in danger in #Syria and must be returned on.orf.at/video/14246521/157…

Un tribunal autrichien décide qu'une femme autrichienne et ses 2 enfants doivent être rapatriés d'un camp du Nord-Est syrien, où ils sont détenus, - considérant que les enfants sont en danger dans le camp, et compte tenu de leur intérêt supérieur.

ISIS-affiliated children who were repatriated demonstrate high levels of resilience and show that successful recovery is possible.

Leaving children in detention camps in NE Syria not only endangers their lives but also poses a significant security risk.
The international community must uphold human rights and provide these children with the opportunity for a hopeful future.
