A second wave of Australian women and children linked to ISIS is set to return home, landing in Sydney and Melbourne soon after leaving a Syrian detention camp. These citizens, held since 2019 in harsh conditions, are being welcomed back by Save the Children, who stress the urgent need to protect the children—two-thirds of the group—who’ve endured years of instability. While the focus remains on their safety and rights, one woman faces a two-year exclusion due to national security concerns. This follows a similar repatriation earlier this month, where three women were arrested upon arrival, charged with terrorism or crimes against humanity. The government says it has no sympathy but couldn’t stop passport issuance earlier this year, while AFP confirms children will receive therapy and counter-extremism support upon return.
