(Dutch News) A further eight Dutch women who went to live in IS-controlled parts of Syria are now hoping to return to the Netherlands, following the successful repatriation of Ilham B at the beginning of June, the Telegraaf said on Wednesday.
“I think that fetching Ilham B set a precedent,” lawyer Andre Seebregts said. The eight women have some 25 children between them.
The women are all willing to go on trial in the Netherlands but will not end up facing legal action unless they are brought back, because their cases will expire. That was exactly the argument used by the cabinet to justify the decision to fetch Ilham B.
