Tyskland och Finland hämtar hem IS-kvinnor och barn
Germany and Finland have repatriated five women and 18 children from Syrian camps housing suspected family members of Islamic State (IS) militants.
The foreign ministeriet of both nations said the women and children were brought back this weekend for humanitarian reasons.
Three of the women were under investigation for allegedly belonging to IS, German media said.
Hundreds of Europeans who joined IS are in Kurdish-run camps in northern Syria.
They were moved there along with thousands of others who were displaced after IS was declared territorially defeated in Syria and Iraq in March 2019.
Many of them are suspected wives and children of IS fighters or sympathisers of the jihadist group.

Utrikesminister Pekka Haavisto ser det som ett gott resultat att så pass många barn har kommit hem från al-Hol till Finland, jämfört med andra europeiska länder.
Han öppnar för att fler barn, och därmed sannolikt också vuxna, repatrieras.
