Civil Society Organisations have called on the UK Government to repatriate British families who are being unlawfully detained in northeast Syria, the majority of detainees being children under 10 years old.

In a joint public campaign with Human Rights Watch, War Child UK and Reprieve, CRIN calls on the UK government to repatriate British families who are being unlawfully detained in northeast Syria. Children should be brought home, reintegrated and given the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
