Since the beginning of the Turkish invasion of Rojava, there have been numerous successful and prevented escape attempts from the prisons and camps maintained by the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria, in which ISIS members and their family members are held. Yesterday evening, according to ANHA, a group of five women and 18 children escaped from the Hol Camp near Hesekê. The women from Germany, Turkey and Uzbekistan fled to Iraq, were captured by the camp’s security forces on the way.

On 19 October an escape attempt of 14 ISIS women with 21 children was prevented, on 20 October another 32 women were prevented from escaping.

In the early days of the Turkish invasion, an artillery attack was carried out on the yard of a prison in Qamishlo to wreak havoc and allow the most dangerous ISIS criminals to escape. In a similar attack outside a camp in Ain Issa, some 850 IS members escaped.

The Hol Camp, 45 kilometers east of Hesekê, accommodates 71,000 people. Almost 40,000 of them are ISIS women with their children.
