Dutch repatriating group of women, children from Syria

Associated Press  

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch government said Thursday it is repatriating five women from Syria who are suspected of terror offenses, along with their 11 children. The justice and foreign ministers said in a letter to Parliament that a “special operation” was underway to bring the women and children back to the Netherlands. “With the transportation to the Netherlands, the Cabinet aims to prevent impunity for these five suspects,” Justice Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius and Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said in their letter to lawmakers. The Dutch government moved to bring back the five suspects after a court in Rotterdam said last year it could drop the cases against them if they were not repatriated within a matter of months.
