Al-Roj: Syria's most dangerous camp
European members of the Islamic State group, especially British and Swedish nationals, staged a sit-in inside al-Roj Camp in Syria on October 19 to protest their living conditions and lambast the Kurdish forces responsible for protecting and securing the camp.
The protesters assaulted security
personnel and set around 16 tents on fire.
They raised banners, demanding a quick
return to their home countries.
Ticking time bomb
Syrian journalist, Abdullah al-Shami,
described the ISIS women in al-Hol and al-Roj camps as 'ticking time bombs'
that can go off in the face of the Kurds and Syria as a whole.
"Most of these women still harbor
the extremist ISIS ideology," he told The Reference.
Al-Shami said some of the ISIS women
in these camps are very strict and beat other women who take off their full
face veil and black attires.
Most dangerous
According to the BBC, al-Roj is one
of the most dangerous camps in Syria because it contains a large number of
dangerous ISIS women.
Security personnel usually express
fears for the safety of camp visitors, given the radical and aggressive nature
of the women inside the camp.
Al-Roj is a lot similar to al-Hol
camp. It is located in al-Hasakah Governorate in northeastern Syria.
The camp is inhabited by about 800
ISIS families, including some from the Russian Federation.
It contains a market made up of
several shops that sell different goods, including vegetables, fruit, clothes, perfume
and electrical appliances.
The camp's administration divides the
opening times of the shops of the market into two shifts.
Families and militant women are not
allowed to shop at the same time for fear of potential frictions.
