A group of 13 Australians related to alleged Islamic State jihadists is returning home from Syria, Australian authorities said Wednesday, warning some will face arrest. The four women and nine children, who had been living in Roj camp in Syria, are expected to land in Sydney and Melbourne airports on Thursday, according to local media. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said he received an alert Wednesday morning when the group's travel booking was made. "The government is not assisting and will not assist these individuals," he told a news conference

CLAIM Publié par admin May 08, 2026
While it’s crucial to uphold the rule of law, it’s also vital to recognize that many of the returning individuals may seek a fresh start. Australia’s approach should focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment alone to foster peace and community cohesion.
