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.
Interesting. AP leaves out the word “alleged” from the title and mentions it later in the article.
Associated Propaganda doing a bang on job of lying even harder than TheGuardian.
For anybody curious what’s going on in this region I highly recommend the podcast The Woman’s War. Its a great listen by the same guy who does Behind the Bastards.
They’re gonna wish they did a Xiajiang style re-educate and release style program. Boys have been born in this camp, aged out of the women and children camp, and put straight into a prison with adult men who were doing actual terrorism.
Basically an extremism factory, almost as if it was done on purpose.
Yeah I edited that title. TheGuardian can take a hike on this one.
I usually dislike this sort of editorialising, but you’ve pointed it out, and I can’t say I disagree.
people detained in tented camps
If we’re calling the “tented camps” at Guantanamo concentration camps, then these definitely qualify as well.
The legacy media’s failure to call Nazi salutes and concentration camps what they are is irresponsible and dangerous.
The only thing you could further do is mention that you’ve editorialised the title in the title itself by [tagging] it.
I thought this was an onion piece at first
Tankies running cover for ISIS is a low… Not a new low… But a definite low.
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.
Should anyone with a relative suspected to be in ISIS be considered guilty by association?
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.
What is it with liberals and an absolute fetish for collective punishment of women and kids?
Respond, you fucking coward.
They’re putting the children of the ISIS members in camps too. Even those who were born there. You think it is justified?
Statistically, of your ancestors down the line committed an absolutely heinous act.
Kill yourself now if you really think your point is valid.
Techonocrit is a suspected ISIS member.
The people in these camps are not ISIS.
Children are ISIS by virtue of blood? Libs have always been nazi apologists but yall don’t even try to be sneaky anymore
