Australia has firmly rejected calls to repatriate its citizens linked to ISIS, as a recent escape attempt from a Syrian detention camp failed. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized that families must take responsibility for their choices, stating, "If you make your bed, you lie in it."
34 Australians were turned back by Syrian authorities while trying to leave the Al-Roj camp. Despite holding temporary passports, their return to Australia was thwarted, raising questions about the safety of detainees. Amnesty International has criticized the conditions in these camps, urging for repatriation. Analysts suggest that ongoing security concerns will continue to hinder repatriation efforts.
