Denmark’s government said it plans to take back 19 Danish children and three of their mothers from Hol and Roj camps in North and East Syria.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on 2 March that he wished “they would never return, because they no longer have anything to do with Denmark.” Frederiksen was talking about Danish women who had travelled to Syria to join Islamic State, and who are now Hol and Roj camps in North and East Syria.

Social Democrats' integration spokesman Rasmus Stoklund pointed out security on 4 March as a reason for not bringing them home.

However, things have changed and the government has now announced that 19 children and 3 women will be brought home from the camps in Syria.

A decision that has led the Liberal Party, the Danish People's Party and the New Citizens in particular to call the decision an outrage.

The Socialist People's Party, the Radical Left and the Unity List have always insisted that the children who are in the prison camps in Syria, and who may have a relationship with Denmark, be brought home.

It is still unknown when the 19 children and the three women are expected to come to Denmark. The process for what will happen when they land here is also not known yet, but according to Justice Minister Nick Hækkerup, the women will be facing trial.
