(Kurdistan 24) Finland is bringing home a family with ties to ISIS from northeast Syria on Friday as part of the government’s efforts to rescue children from violent displacement camps.
Ambassador Jussi Tanner, the Finnish Foreign Ministry’s special envoy in charge of the repatriations, told Kurdistan 24 that a woman and her two children would land in Finland on Friday afternoon.
Citing the children’s privacy, Tanner would only say that they were “small children below the age of six” and had been living in Roj camp under control of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
Tanner explained that bringing the trio back to Finland was not only a humanitarian mission, but an attempt to prevent the children from being radicalized in the camps where ISIS ideology lingers.
