(Dutch News) The Netherlands is working on plans to bring back 12 jihadi brides and 29 children from camps in northern Syria, RTL news reported on Wednesday.
Three ministries — justice, foreign affairs and defence — have been working on the plans for several months, sources in The Hague told the broadcaster.
The decision to bring them back stems from a court ruling in May in which judges said that cases involving defendants who could not appear in court would not be handled.
The Netherlands wants to prosecute the women for their role in the terror group IS and the women say they want to appear in court personally, as is their right. Judges gave the government four months to address the problem.
