(ITV) The government will “urgently investigate” the possibility of repatriating four British children from a Syrian refugee camp — as long as their mother agrees that she cannot return with them.
The proposal, made to a London woman who joined so-called Islamic State with her husband in 2014, is likely to be a precursor to the return of dozens of other children stranded in refugee camps following the territorial defeat of the terror group.
Mehak Aslam, from east London, has been in a Syrian refugee camp with her four children for almost a year while her husband Shahan Choudhury, a former IS gravedigger, is held at a prison nearby. Both have been stripped of their British citizenship.
