(Local) Sweden’s foreign minister has said the country is working to facilitate the return to Sweden of children of Swedish nationals who travelled overseas to join the Isis terror group.
“The government is now working intensively so that children with a connection to Sweden who are in Syria get the help they need,” Foreign Minister Margot Wallström wrote in a Facebook post on Friday afternoon.
“There should not be any doubt that the government is doing what we can for these children and, if possible, they will be brought to Sweden.”
Her statement comes after public demonstrations in Sweden for the children of Swedish Isis fighters to be brought back to the Scandinavian country.
