LONDON: Former cabinet minister David Davis has asked foreign secretary James Cleverley how many British minors are detained in Kurdish camps and what is being done for their repatriation.
The minster, in a letter, asked to end the financial support for the culprits, seeking the exact number of minors held in Kurdish camps besides changing the policy towards collective punishment which is a breach of the international law.
The letter from the former cabinet minister also stated the fears and psychological trauma the minors will be faced with.
David Davis made no excuse in hiding his disappointment at the UK’s Middle East minister Lord Tariq Ahmed who had not responded to demands of giving details of minors detained in Syrian camps.
The letter also mentioned putting British families to indefinite detention without trial is clear violation of the national values besides law and having them back is the only sensible choice.
It is believed that there are 30 to 60 children detained in two camps at North-eastern part of Syria who have Islamic State (ISIS) suspects.
The two camps have mostly Iraqis but has the presence of 60 other nationals including Britons.
The British and American troops supported by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) destroyed the ISIS caliphate in Syria and these 37,000 people were placed in the two detention camps.
