A senior diplomat has told a court she was not aware of any plans to bring ISIS brides and their children back to Australia.
On Tuesday, a “last resort” legal fight began in the Federal Court hoping to force the Australian Government to repatriate 12 Australian women and their 21 children from a camp in Syria.
Many countries have been able to return citizens remaining in Syrian camps.

In submissions filed to the court, Save the Children Australia argued all of the women, many of whom travelled to Syria as children, are citizens and many of the children were born in the camp. “Merely being able to ask for a person’s release, and even having high hopes that would be successful, would never be enough,” he said.31 of 34 Australian women and children have joined the lawsuit.
