(Rudaw) France has repatriated 364 children of suspected ISIS members and they are under close monitoring as part of the European country’s efforts to bring its nationals back from northeast Syria (Rojava), according to the head of the national anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office.
“There are 364 children … who benefit from coordination from my office to make sure they have the optimal care,” prosecutor Olivier Christen told France Info radio station.
The parents are suspected ISIS members.
Referring to concerns about extremist tendencies in the children, Christen said that they “in no way seem to me to correspond to that expression,” adding that they are “very young children, while others are fully fledged teenagers.”
