ISIS brides: Second group en route to Australia via Damascus from Al-Roj detainee camp in Syria

Another group of so-called “ISIS brides” are reportedly on their way to Australia.

Seven women affiliated with ISIS and their 14 children have left the Al Roj detainee camp in north-east Syria to make their way to Australia.

It is believed that this group contains all remaining Australians in the camp.

This comes days after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the government would not provide any assistance to groups returning to Australia.

Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek said on ABC Breakfast that the group would face “the full force of the law”.

“They’ll face the same consequences as the first group, which is, if there are any crimes they’re accused of, they’ll be taken into custody and treated with the full force of the law,” she said.

During an interview on Sunrise on Friday morning, Health Minister Mark Butler said he did not know if any of the women would be charged upon their arrival in Australia.

“That’s a matter for the police,” Mr Butler told the program on Friday morning.

Deputy Leader of the Opposition Jane Hume said the government should “Throw the book at them”.

“They are potentially an enormous danger to our citizens,” she told Sunrise.

Four women and nine children arrived in Sydney and Melbourne earlier in May after spending almost two weeks in the Syrian capital.

Australian Border Force arrested three of the women when they arrived in Australia.

Two are facing charges relating to slavery, and the other has been charged with joining a terrorist organisation and travelling to a declared conflict zone. All three remain in custody.

It is not yet clear when they will touch down in Australia, but it is believed the group is currently on their way to Syria’s capital, Damascus.
