(Brussels Times) Belgium must provide travel and identity documents to ten children of Belgian Islamic State (IS) members in Syria in order to facilitate their return to Belgium.
The ruling on Wednesday ordered federal authorities to provide consular assistance to the children of four Belgian (IS) women, identified as Nadia Baghouri, Adel Mezroui, Jessie Van Eetvelde [and] Sabah Hammani, RTBF reports.
If Belgium fails to start proceedings to bring back the ten children within a period of six weeks, the court ordered it would have to pay €5,000 for each day of delay.
The four mothers are not included in the court’s order, making it the first ruling to be issued solely for children, following previous rulings to repatriate two different mothers and their children.
