(NL Times) Twelve Dutch women were picked up in Syria and will be transported to the Netherlands where they will be taken into custody for crimes related to terrorism offenses, the Dutch Cabinet confirmed on Tuesday. Their 28 children were also collected, and will be taken to the country.
“The women will be arrested after arrival in the Netherlands and will be tried,” wrote Justice and Security Minister Dilan Yesilgöz-Zegerius in a letter to the Tweede Kamer co-signed by Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra. Child protection services will take custody of the children.
The Cabinet said it made the decision to comply with a court order.
