(Dutch News) The Netherlands will not make a habit of bringing back its nationals who joined IS and are now in Syrian camps, but cannot rule out more women being repatriated, justice minister Ferd Grapperhaus told MPs on Thursday.
“We look at it on a case-by-case basis,” Grapperhaus said during a debate on the secret operation last month to bring back Gouda woman Ilham B and three children. She was repatriated because there was a risk she would not be prosecuted if she had been left in Syria. B had demanded the right to appear in court personally.
At least eight other women are in a similar position and wish to return.
