Foreign women linked to the Islamic State group in a Syrian camp are hoping for amnesty after a government offensive weakened the Kurdish-led forces guarding them. The Associated Press reports that these women, mostly wives or widows of IS group fighters, are held at the Roj camp in northeast Syria. The camp remains under control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. The recent offensive captured much of the territory they once held, including the larger al-Hol camp. Some women want to return home, while others prefer to stay in Syria. The future of these camps remains uncertain as international repatriation efforts stall.
