Several alleged ISIS-linked women and their children return to Australia are met with arrests at airports, according to multiple outlets. The women have reportedly been held in Syrian refugee camps for years before arriving back in Australia by air. Reporting across Sydney and Melbourne describes four women arriving with nine children and additional relatives, including grandchildren, across the two destinations. Authorities take one woman into custody on arrival in Sydney, while others are arrested after landing at Australian airports, with at least two women facing charges related to slavery offences after their arrival in Melbourne. In Melbourne, one grandmother, Kawsar Abbas, and her daughter Zeinab Ahmad are described as being remanded in custody following their arrests and expected to seek bail in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. Another set of women and children arrive in Sydney and Melbourne on Thursday night, with police taking custody of those suspected of involvement with ISIS-linked activities. Coverage also describes a case in which an ABC journalist meets some of the women during the flight to Melbourne and provides firsthand account of their presence on the journey. Across sources, the immediate outcome is detention and court processing rather than release.
