Belgium protests against repatriation of isis family
Belgium will appeal a judge’s order forcing it to repatriate
from Syria two Belgian women convicted of being members of the ISIS terrorist
group and their six children, the migration minister said Dec. 30.
A judge said Dec. 26 that Belgium had to bring back Tatiana
Wielandt, 26, Bouchra Abouallal, 25, and the children they had with terrorists,
from the Al-Hol camp in a Kurdish-dominated part of Syria, where they are being
held.
Maggie De Block, the minister in charge of migration policy,
told broadcaster VTM that a distinction had to be made between the mothers and
the children.
“The children have not chosen to be born in such
circumstances … Four of the six are Belgian children, they have grandparents
here, one child is reportedly very ill. We are responsible for seeing what we
can do,” she told VTM.
