The government will not help the Swedes who are in IS camps in northeastern Syria to come home, reports TV4 Nyheterna.
– We have made the analysis from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ side that there is no obligation from Sweden and the Swedish government to act for these people to come home. They have voluntarily chosen to go there to join IS, one of the most cruel terrorist organizations we have seen, says Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M) to the television channel.
Five children with a Swedish connection remain in the camps with their mothers, as well as ten men in the Kurdish prisons, according to TV4.
