(NL Times) Angela B., a Dutch woman who left for Syria to join terrorist movement ISIS in 2014, reported to the Dutch consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, this week, insiders confirmed to NU.nl after reports in Dutch media. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only said that a 25-year-old Dutch woman and her son reported to the consulate.
B. is currently in custody in Turkey. It is expected that the Turkish authorities will deport her from the country, which would mean that she will return to the Netherlands under the guard of the Koninklijke Marechaussee — a policing force that works as part of the Dutch military and is responsible for border security.
The Dutch government’s position has always been that it will not retrieve Dutch women who went to join ISIS from Syria, due to the dangers in the conflict zone.
