(National-UAE) The child of a British woman from north London held in an ISIS detention camp in Syria died amid a stand-off over the family’s return to the UK.
The woman, who is said by her MP to be in declining health, is among an estimated 60 British nationals including women and children living in detention camps on the grounds that the adults were members of ISIS. The UK has refused to take the adults back, and has stripped the men and most of the women of their citizenship.
Dame Emily Thornberry, who chaired the Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, said she had been speaking to the family of one of her constituents, a mother of two who is in the camps in Syria with her one surviving child.
