About this listen

Thirteen Australian citizens, comprising four women and nine children, are preparing to return to Australia after seven years of detention in a Syrian camp following the collapse of the Islamic State Caliphate. The women face potential criminal charges under the Commonwealth Criminal Code for their activities in Syria, though Australian citizens have a right of return under international law. Previous returnees have faced varying legal outcomes, with male fighters receiving jail sentences whilst at least one woman received a conviction without imprisonment.
