The federal government must bring back another - according to their own information former - IS-trailer with her two small children from northern Syria. This was decided by the Higher Administrative Court Berlin-Brandenburg.
SPIEGEL information is about a woman from Berlin, who had traveled with the two children to the area of the "Islamic State" (IS) and is currently being held at the Al-Hol detention center by Kurdish forces.
The Attorney General investigates them on suspicion of membership in a terrorist group. She herself states, according to the court order, that she turned her back on IS at the beginning of the year. Her seriously ill daughter, born in the war zone in 2018, had been flown to Iraq via Berlin in August. The Foreign Office had previously refused to bring the rest of the family to Germany.
It is already the second case in which the Higher Administrative Court Berlin-Brandenburg has condemned the Federal Republic to action. Previously, it had arranged a return action in the case of an IS supporter from Wolfsburg and her three children.
The decision presents the Federal Government with great difficulties. Since the invasion of Turkey in northern Syria on 9 October, the situation there has become even more uncertain. The Foreign Ministry said that they are examining how to implement the decision to bring back the mothers to Germany in addition to the children.
According to figures from the government, 81 German IS supporters are currently in camps or prisons in Syria. Against 26 of them is in Germany an arrest warrant.
