Four women and ten children were returned to Canada this week from Daesh camps in northern Syria, according to authorities on Friday.
This is the fourth attempt by the Canadian government to repatriate citizens who are being imprisoned in Syrian camps run by Daesh.
According to a police statement, three of the ladies were detained at the airport before appearing in court on a "terrorist peace bond application," a kind of restraining order. One of them, a 38-year-old unnamed lady, was flown to Alberta in western Canada and was later freed on bail pending a hearing to determine the terms of her status.
“This is not a criminal charge,” her lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, told AFP, adding that the prosecutor will want to “ensure that the person follows the conditions for a period of up to one year.”
The other two, Ammara Amjad and Dure Ahmed, “will remain in custody until their next hearing, which is scheduled for Tuesday,” police added.
“Everything was good” regarding the fourth woman, said Greenspon, who is representing all four repatriated women.
She faces neither criminal charges nor a request for a peace bond on terrorism.
“The 10 children are repatriated and are with their families here in Canada,” the lawyer added.
