(Brussels Times) The Belgian state has seven more days to provide consular assistance to ten children of Begian IS terrorists to help them return to Belgium, before it will have to pay a €50,000 penalty per day it does not.
Belgium has not taken any steps yet, according to the children’s lawyer. Four other children of Belgian IS women already arrived at Brussels Airport Zaventem on Monday.
On 11 December, the Brussels court ruled that the ten children of four Belgian IS terrorists, Nadia Baghouri (28), Jessie Van Eetvelde (41), Sabah Hammani (28) and Adel Mezroui (23), had to be repatriated from the north of Syria.
“Only the children should be helped,” the judge ruled. They are all between six months and 7 years old, as well as sick and malnourished.
