(Radio NZ) Helping Islamic State-linked Suhayra Aden to resettle into the community with her children will be the best outcome for her and New Zealand, the Islamic Women’s Council says.
Aden, who has links to terrorist group Islamic State, is returning from Turkey with her two children after the government signed off on her so-called “managed return.”
But there are no details of what that means or if any restrictions could be placed on her.
Aden has been in custody in Turkey since illegally trying to cross the border from Syria, with Turkish authorities identifying her as a terrorist.
She was a dual New Zealand-Australian citizen, having moved to Australia when she was six. But Australia rescinded her citizenship, meaning the only place she can legally live is New Zealand.
