AIN ISSA, Syria - Two Belgian women who joined Islamic State in Syria said on Sunday they were losing hope they will ever go home after a Belgian court overturned a ruling to repatriate them with their six children.
European nations are wrestling with how to handle militants and their families seeking to return as Islamic State’s self-declared caliphate crumbles. The government sought to make a distinction between the mothers - sisters-in-law who were convicted in absentia of being Islamic State militants - and the children who officials say cannot be guilty of their parent’s actions.
They got smuggled out of Islamic State territory and surrendered to the Kurdish forces in Ain Issa in late 2017 after the jihadists lost their base in Syria’s Raqqa city, where they lived. They said they spent two months in prison before being sent to a camp in the northeast.Wielandt converted to Islam to marry Abouallal’s brother when they were still teens. Soon after, they left with their husbands for Syria - each with a baby - like more than 400 Belgians who headed to the conflict zone.
