(Local) The government is suspected — by its own political allies in parliament — of withholding a 2019 report by police intelligence agency PET on Danish children in camps in Syria.
According to the report by newspaper Ekstra Bladet, PET concluded in the spring of 2019 that the children — who are in the camps because their parents travelled to Syria to support militant groups — do not pose a threat to Danish security.
But the report was not made public by the government until March 2020.
The government has long resisted repatriating Danish nationals, including children, from the Syrian camps of Al-Hol and Al-Roj.
