Trump vows to unleash 1,800 ISIS prisoners held in Syria
2019-05-01
And by vow they mean warn.
[Rudaw] If European allies of the international anti-ISIS coalition do not repatriate suspected Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) members, US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
warned nearly 2,000 of these "dangerous prisoners" could be let loose.

"We have 1,800 ISIS prisoners taken hostage in our final battles to destroy 100 percent of the Caliphate in Syria. Decisions are now being made as to what to do with these dangerous prisoners..." Trump tweeted on Tuesday

Most of the prisoners are held in Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) facilities in Syria. The SDF repeatedly has said it lacks the resources to hold trials. French newspaper Le Monde has reported 800 Western men, 700 women, and some 1,500 of their children are estimated to be held in SDF camps.
President Trump is transactional, guys. He laid out the maximal position. Now you need to make a counteroffer.
"...European countries are not helping at all, even though this was very much done for their benefit. They are refusing to take back prisoners from their specific countries. Not good!" Trump added.

The SDF, the partnered ground force of the US-led international coalition, continue to detain suspected faceless myrmidons in once-liberated areas.

"Special units" from the SDF tossed in the slammer
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
members of a "terrorist cell" east of Raqqa, its Press Office head, Mustafa Bali, announced on Monday.

Bali added two of the arrested were suspected of planting improvised bombs (IEDs) in Raqqa city.

There is no established Western policy for dealing with the suspects. The United Kingdom has said it won't risk diplomats' lives by travelling to Syria.

The United States has repatriated the few US nationals who joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq. Other European countries are torn because they lack capital punishment and believe their nationals have the right to a trial.

Additionally, the Europeans are concerned authorities in Syria lack the tools to conduct fair trials which would also reveal key details about the way the group operates and the fate of groups they like the Yezidis.

Most European nationals joining ISIS in Iraq and Syria came from La Belle France, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, the London-based International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation found in a study released in July 2018.

Human rights activist lawyer Amal Clooney argued on April 23 before the UN Security Council that several options are available for the West to get justice for victims of sexual violence committed by ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

#5  Harvest every organ, every ounce of blood and marrow and donate the skeletons and brains for research.

Or dig a deep, deep hole and throw 'em in. Cover it up with earth packed tight and gift some future generations a liter of crude.
