(Swiss Info) Three Swiss nationals who fought for Islamic State and are currently in custody in northern Syria deplore the harsh conditions in Kurdish prisons and want the Swiss government to repatriate them.
The jihadists, who all come from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, were interviewed by Swiss public television SRF. They claim that conditions in Kurdish prisons fall somewhere between mistreatment and torture.
The jihadists complained of poor conditions like scarcity of food and water, lack of hygiene and non-existent healthcare. They claim to be under a lot of psychological stress and suffering due to sleep deprivation.
While they have no contact with the outside world, they are allowed to send messages to their families via the Red Cross.
