(National-UAE) Swedish female ISIS recruits could now be tried in Syria for terrorism offences after Kurdish authorities told Sweden’s Foreign Ministry that they wish to prosecute ISIS members in prison camps locally.
Sweden has been calling on the European Union to introduce an international tribunal to prosecute ISIS fighters, instead of sending them back to individual nations.
On Monday, Sweden’s Foreign Ministry told the National that a delegation had a meeting last week with the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (Aanes), which is responsible for the Syrian camps, to discuss the issue.
“The local administration that is responsible for the camps has the ambition of prosecuting women for crimes, including collaboration with the terrorist organisation ISIS,” a spokeswoman told the National.
