Two of four Canadian women repatriated from Syria arrested in Montreal: lawyer
Some of the repatriated families were held at al-Hol and then moved to al-Roj for the repatriation, which began in the early hours of the morning local time on Wednesday.
"What it demonstrates is that Canada has the ability to repatriate these women and children and then deal with any concerns that they have through the Canadian justice system, which is the way it should be," said Greenspon. The women were part of a group of four Canadian women and 10 children the federal government repatriated to Canada on Thursday from al-Roj, the Kurdish-run camp where many of them were detained for years.
Greenspon said he's been working for more than three years to get the families to Canada and it took an application he filed in Federal Court for the government to agree to bring them home.The federal government struck a deal in January to repatriate six Canadian women and 13 children from the Kurdish-run camps. In return, the women and children dropped their Federal Court case against the government a day before a judge was set to render a ruling.

The AANES has urged countries around the world for years to repatriate their citizens due to a humanitarian crisis in the camps and the potential for increased extremism. "There's a large death rate for children in the camp. There are tent fires. Some of the children have been injured."Quebec mother, children not on flight
