(Radio NZ) It is believed a New Zealand woman and her two children who were detained at the Turkish border while trying to enter from Syria will be deported.
The Turkish Ministry of National Defence alleges the woman — named as Suhayra Aden — is a terrorist belonging to Islamic State.
RNZ correspondent Vehbi Bas said Turkey has dropped charges against the 25-year-old and has begun procedures to deport her.
He said internal Turkish police correspondence shows she was taken to a deportation centre on Tuesday.
Aden acquired dual nationality after moving to Australia when she was six and travelled to Syria from there in 2014 to join Islamic State leading to Australia stripping her of citizenship last year.
