(AFP) Denmark said Friday it had repatriated a mother and her eight-year-old son, the child of a dead Islamic State jihadist, from a Syrian detention camp.
They arrived in Denmark on Thursday following an agreement with local Kurdish authorities in northeastern Syria, the Danish foreign ministry said.
The mother had agreed to the repatriation and was arrested upon arrival for suspected terrorism, it said. The child was handed over to social services.
Copenhagen had in 2021 offered to repatriate all the Danish children in the Roj and Al-Hol camps in northeastern Syria and also offered to bring home three mothers who had Danish citizenship.
