Lebanese ISIS women awaiting government to bring them back
30-9-2019
After exposing the human rights violations against Yazidi women abductees at Al Hol refugee camp in Syria (https://bit.ly/2nMaKaP), Al Diyar today reported that the total number of Lebanese women, wives of ISIS fighters imprisoned at the camp, is around 50 women. Each one of them is a mother of 3 to 5 children of different nationalities as they are married to more than one man when their husbands die in battle. The Lebanese Daesh women are mainly from Tripoli and the environs, with a few from Donniyeh and Akkar, Al Diyar wrote. Citing informed sources, the newspaper said 10 women returned recently with their children through human traffickers, pointing out that the cost of trafficking ranged between USD 3,000 and USD 5,000 for each woman. The newspaper noted that the families of the Lebanese women abducted at Al Houl Camp have appealed to the Lebanese government to facilitate the return of their girls from the camp. And according to the same sources, the final word at the said camp is reportedly for the US Forces governing the facility, hence Lebanon is called on to make the necessary contacts to secure their safe return.
