A Canadian mother, along with her six children, is facing hardships as they try to leave a Syrian detention camp. Their situation was made worse when a fire damaged their tent home, according to advocacy group Families Against Violent Extremism. The woman and some of her children received treatment at a clinic following the incident. Alexandra Bain, a representative from the group, described the mother as being in a critical state. She also revealed that Global Affairs Canada has been notified about the fire.
The family is among the many foreign nationals held in Syrian camps and prisons controlled by Kurdish forces following the removal of the extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Canadian government, however, has refused to assist the Quebec woman in returning to Canada, citing security concerns.
Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who has been supporting the family, recently stated that the government considers the woman to be a security risk and thus will not provide her with aid. Greenspon argued that the government should address any concerns about the woman’s behavior through the justice system, rather than denying her and her children a chance to return home.
Despite this setback, Greenspon has previously arranged for the repatriation of other Canadian women and children from Syria through a court case. He hopes that the Quebec woman and her children can be included in the next airlift facilitated by Canada, scheduled for early July.
Overall, the situation of this Canadian mother and her children highlights the challenges faced by foreign nationals in Syrian detention camps, as well as the complexities of repatriation efforts.
