Families of missing Turkish ISIS terrorists ask Turkey to try them at home

A number of families of missing Turkish suspects of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have asked the country’s authorities to bring their relatives back to Turkey to try them.


The families visited the Foreign Ministry on Nov. 20 to submit a petition asking for their relatives who joined ISIL in Syria and Iraq to be brought back to Turkey.

“Our sons were tricked and our daughters were forcefully taken by their husbands. Now most of them are captives in Iraq,” the families said, asking the state to “bring our children back.”

“If they are going to be tried, they should be tried here. Hear our voice,” they said.

The plight of Turkish jihadists’ wives and children came to prominence after the Iraqi army liberated Mosul and Tal Afar from ISIL.

Many families in Turkey are desperately searching for their relatives and trying to obtain information on their whereabouts.
