(NZ Herald) An Isis “terrorist” bride and her two children will head to New Zealand from Turkey after the New Zealand government agreed to their return.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made the announcement on Suhayra Aden — who has been described as a “terrorist” — and her two children today.
The three have been in immigration detention in Turkey since crossing the border from Syria earlier this year. Turkey has requested that New Zealand repatriate the family.
Lawyer Deborah Manning, who represents the family, says Suhayra Aden is looking forward to starting the next chapter of her and her children’s lives in New Zealand.
Manning says it’s a difficult time for the family.
