(CBC) Two Canadian women and three teenage girls who were set to be repatriated from camps for family members of ISIS suspects in Syria were instead detained and mistreated by their Kurdish guards rather than being taken to their pick-up point, their lawyer says.
The women have been missing ever since the repatriation flight to Canada took off without them more than 10 days ago.
Edmonton lawyer Zachary Al-Khatib told CBC News that one of the women was able to make a short phone call to a relative Tuesday before the line dropped after 4 minutes.
The woman said the five of them had been detained and mistreated by Kurdish authorities in what’s known as “Red Prison” at al-Hol camp and at a second prison, said Al-Khatib.
