(Global News) Two Edmonton women were returning to Canada on Thursday after the government facilitated their release from a prison camp for ISIS suspects caught in Syria.
Global Affairs Canada confirmed the women were being repatriated along with three children. The women are believed to be Helena Carson and Dina Kalouti, the mother of the kids.
The sisters-in-law were supposed to have been released in April, along with four other Canadian women and 10 children, but they could not be located at that time.
In a press statement, Global Affairs Canada said it had taken “extraordinary steps” to bring back the remaining women and children eligible to return to Canada.
