Finland has repatriated nearly 30 ISIS-linked nationals so far: envoy
[Rudaw] Finland has repatriated about 30 of its Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) affiliated nationals from northeast Syria (Rojava) and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
, including a woman and her children who were returned on Friday, a special envoy from the Finnish foreign ministry told Rudaw English on Saturday.

"Finland has so far repatriated ca. 30 individuals that were kept in al-Hol camp: 10 children and 3 mothers were handed over by NES authorities," said Jussi Tanner said, referring to the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES).

The others were brought back via Turkey: "approximately one dozen children and 4 mothers first escaped al-Hol in 2019-2020 and were repatriated by the foreign service of Finland via Turkey," he added.

Tanner refused to provide the exact number of those repatriated "in order to protect the privacy of the children."

He led a Finnish delegation that arrived in Rojava on Wednesday and returned to Finland on Friday, taking with them an ISIS-affiliated Finnish woman and her two children who had been held at Roj camp, according to Kurdish authorities and a Finnish statement.

"The mother of the two children was also repatriated. It was not possible to repatriate only the children. In all official activities, priority has been given to the best interests of the child," Helsinki stated on Friday, adding it plans to bring home the remaining children still held in Rojava camps "as soon as possible."

Rojava authorities handed over 10 Belgian children and six women, who were their mothers, to Brussels on Thursday.

According to Helsinki, there are still nearly 900 European citizens — 600 children and 300 women — in Rojava’s camps, including several Finns.
