A group of six women and 14 children, identified as ISIS brides, are expected to arrive in Australia within days, having recently departed from Syria's Al Roj internment camp. Health Minister Mark Butler warned that upon their arrival, they could face serious legal consequences for any past offences. This warning comes after a previous group of four women and nine children returned to Australia, where three women were arrested and charged with historic crimes against humanity-related offences. One woman from the current group will remain in Syria due to an exclusion order imposed by the Albanese government. The group is anticipated to land around the time of Eid al-Adha, but the exact timing depends on final flight arrangements. The recent arrests of returning ISIS affiliates have sparked anger within the Al Roj camp, with some women expressing concern over the treatment of their peers and the impact on the children involved. As Australia navigates the complexities of these returns, authorities are prepared to enforce the law strictly against those who may have committed serious crimes.
