Islamic State woman with two children handed over to Norway

The Department of Foreign Relations in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria handed over two children with their Norwegian mother who were staying in the Hol Camp to a delegation from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry headed by Eric Homes.

The Norwegian delegation arrived at the headquarters of the Foreign Relations Department in Qamishlo last Tuesday, where it was received by the Head of Foreign Relations Department Abdul Karim Omar, members of YPJ (Women’s Defense Units) General Relations Department and Women’s Committee of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.

“We have talked about many important political matters about the situation in the region, and Norway appreciates the efforts made by the local authorities in north and east Syria to shoulder the burden of this huge number of displaced people present in the camps and all the sacrifices made by the people in northern and eastern Syria”, said Eric Homs of the Norwegian delegation.

Homs also expressed his thanks and gratitude to the Autonomous Administration and the SDF for their efforts and sacrifices to eliminate the ISIS terrorist organization.

A delivery document has been signed by both parties confirming that the two children and their mother are in good physical and health condition and have not been exposed to any kind of moral or physical pressure while they were held in the areas of North-East Syria.

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria has officially handed over 171 women and 177 children to their countries of origin so far.
