Together with their children
Salzburg woman and Viennese woman back in Austria
In a repatriation operation, the Foreign Ministry in Vienna brought two former IS supporters and their children back to Austria on Saturday.
On behalf of the judiciary, "Maria G. from Salzburg and her two underage sons as well as another Austrian citizen with her underage son" had to be brought back to Austria, the authority confirmed on Sunday.
With a scheduled flight from Iraq
According to the report, the second Austrian is Evelyne T. from Vienna. The women and their children are said to have been flown from Iraq to Vienna on a scheduled flight. Most recently, both women and their children were held in the Camp Roj detention camp in Syria.
According to the Foreign Ministry, it had been offering to bring Maria G.'s underage sons back since 2019. Maria G. had always refused. Finally, on October 10, 2024, the Federal Administrative Court ordered the return of Maria G. and her two boys.
"High security risks"
In its statement, the Foreign Ministry emphasized that such a mission "always involves high security risks for the mission team and also for those to be repatriated". The volatile security situation in the area had "made the repatriation considerably more difficult and delayed."
No more Austrians in Syria
According to the Foreign Ministry, the ball is now in the court of law. "The costs of the repatriation will be passed on to the repatriated women," it continued. "According to the current state of knowledge, there are therefore no more Austrian citizens in camps in Syria."
