Over 800 women belonging to ISIS have been detained in Syria.

This was disclosed by a German newspaper revealing that the women are being detained in Kurdish regions of northern Syria with their children.

The report which cited a terrorism expert from Human Rights Watch said that among the 800 were 15 German women.

“The female IS members and their children were detained across several camps in the region. The women were from 40 different countries including Canada, France, Britain, Tukey and Australian. These women are in a very difficult situation. Especially for the small children the conditions are by no means good,” the report said.

The women wanted to return home even if that meant having to face prosecution it added calling on European governments to allow the children to return.  “The children have not committed any crimes, they are the victims of the war and often their radicalized parents.”
