OTTAWA — The federal government says today it is bringing home four Canadian women and 10 children from prison camps in northeastern Syria.
The Canadians are among the many foreign nationals in Syrian camps run by Kurdish forces that reclaimed the war-torn region from the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The long-anticipated flight to Canada had been expected to bring more people home.
Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon reached an agreement with the federal government in January to repatriate six Canadian women and 13 children who had been part of a court action.
