Humanitarian groups worried north-east Syrian camps holding suspected IS members will lose basic facilities

Blumont, a Virginia-based humanitarian aid group responsible for the management of two of Syria’s IS detention camps, al-Hol and al-Roj, was given a stop-work order on 24 January by the US state department.

The camp holds the relatives of suspected IS fighters and is mostly populated by women and children. Rights groups have for years warned that detainees are held arbitrarily without charges in inhumane and substandard living conditions.

No charges have been raised against the camp’s population. Despite this, they are unable to leave, with the exception of non-Syrian detainees whose countries agree to take them back.

      They’re putting the children of the ISIS members in camps too. Even those who were born there. You think it is justified?

      when all the Nazi libs in other instances lie about hexbear being evil, this is what they are talking about.

      Next time someone asks about hexbear, this absolute clown is going to chime in and say “one time they were defending ISIS! I saw it myself!”

      And no one they say that to will go check the post and see that it was indeed the Nazi lib justifying putting women and children in prison for being in proximity to ISIS members. They will believe the Nazi lib and never go to see that hexbear is against imprisoning children and women and it is indeed the Nazi libs from other instances who believe concentration camps are good, actually.

      Are you really this fucking dense, you disgusting little worm? What part of “women and children” and “relatives of IS fighters” that never had any charges raised against them don’t you understand? Imagine if you were locked up for the sole reason of having an uncle who committed crimes. Good job outing yourself as a disgustingly evil freak who’s no better than the average right-winger, motherfucker.

      A few years ago when Trump said we should go after terrorist’s families, liberal darlings clutched their pearls at the proposed human rights violations. Now that Liberal Approved Organization is doing the exact same thing and we point out that it’s bad, we’re running cover for ISIS. Look in the mirror.

      Statistically, of your ancestors down the line committed an absolutely heinous act.

      Kill yourself now if you really think your point is valid.
