Blumont, a Virginia-based humanitarian aid group responsible for the management of two of Syria’s IS detention camps, al-Hol and al-Roj, was given a stop-work order on 24 January by the US state department.
The camp holds the relatives of suspected IS fighters and is mostly populated by women and children. Rights groups have for years warned that detainees are held arbitrarily without charges in inhumane and substandard living conditions.
No charges have been raised against the camp’s population. Despite this, they are unable to leave, with the exception of non-Syrian detainees whose countries agree to take them back.
Yeah I edited that title. TheGuardian can take a hike on this one.
Tankies running cover for ISIS is a low… Not a new low… But a definite low.
Should anyone with a relative suspected to be in ISIS be considered guilty by association?
Children are ISIS by virtue of blood? Libs have always been nazi apologists but yall don’t even try to be sneaky anymore
Techonocrit is a suspected ISIS member.
Interesting. AP leaves out the word “alleged” from the title and mentions it later in the article.
Associated Propaganda doing a bang on job of lying even harder than TheGuardian.
For anybody curious what’s going on in this region I highly recommend the podcast The Woman’s War. Its a great listen by the same guy who does Behind the Bastards.
