Six Canadian kids brought home after being held captive in Syria

Six kids from Canada have been brought back home from being held in northeastern Syria, but it’s still not known where their mom is.

Global Affairs Canada said they are now focused on keeping the children’s information private and making sure they get the help they need to start a new life.

Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon got a message from Global Affairs on Tuesday saying that the children are safe in Montreal and are getting help from a special clinic.

He recently said that the mother of the children, who is from Quebec, was not allowed to come back to Canada because of security reasons.

Greenspon said the woman left al-Roj detention camp, but no one knows where she went.

The Canadians were in a place where they were being kept with other people from different countries after the fighting in the area was over and the militant group ISIS was removed.

The Global Affairs statement thanked the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria for working together despite difficult security conditions.

We are thankful to the United States for helping bring Canadians back home and for their support during this time.

In the past, Ottawa helped bring back Canadian women and children from Syria detention.

But, many Canadian kids and their mothers who are not from Canada are still living in very bad situations. Some Canadian men are also being held in custody.

A group of people from civil society went to Syrian prison camps last August. They want the Canadian government to help Canadian prisoners in the camps and bring them back to Canada quickly if they want to come back. Delegation members, such as Sen. (Simplify) Delegation members, like Sen. (Simplified) Kim Pate and Alex Neve, who used to work for Amnesty International Canada, asked the government to give temporary permits to allow non-Canadian moms and siblings of Canadian kids to come to Canada.

The group said Canada is involved in a global human-rights problem by keeping thousands of foreign people in detention, and many of them are kids.

Neve said on Tuesday that the six new people who came to Canada are safe now. But it’s terrible that their kids had to be separated from their mom.

Neve, now a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, said the government’s claim that her views are too extreme to allow her to come back home is really worrisome. It doesn’t follow the law or human rights standards.

He said that the group of people helping others met with a family in Syria, and it was clear that they are all very close to each other- the children with their mother and each other- and they depend on each other for support.
