Albanese’s victimisation of “ISIS brides” and innocent children is appalling
Despite languishing in appalling conditions for years, the Australian Prime Minister aggressively refuses to rightfully repatriate the wives or innocent children of ISIS fighters. Comments by James May.
I voted Labor at the last Federal election but am reconsidering my support after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made disgusting comments about Australian women and children stranded in the region. Syrian refugee camps.
11 women and 23 children they rotted inside Al Roj refugee camp It’s been almost + years in Northeast Syria. This filthy camp hosted thousands of people displaced following the defeat of US and Coalition forces. Islamic State In 2019.
It was assumed that many women who traveled to the area acted out of ignorance and oppression. These were described by one person. United Nations official as “v”victims of terrorism”.
Anthony Albanese and his Government refuses to bring them back to Australia.
The Prime Minister said:If you make your bed, you sleep in it“, And “I have nothing but contempt for these people”.
His malicious comments show the dark side of the man and it shocks me.
most women They have no desire to stay in Syria and want to return home. They were not charged with any crime, tried or given a fair hearing by authorities in Australia.
Amnesty International He says conditions in the camp are dangerous, with inadequate access to food, water and healthcare. Human Rights Watch He said the camps were deteriorating with night raids and severe beatings.
hundreds of children They have died from malnutrition, disease and exposure since being taken to Syrian camps in 2019.
Save the Children He has long campaigned for the Australian Government to repatriate the families. CEO Matt Tinkler in question, “These innocent children have already lost their childhood and deserve the chance to rebuild their lives in the safety of their homes.”.
Both the current Labor and the last Coalition governments have claimed it is too dangerous to send Australian officials to the region.
This is being discussed by the Greens MP David ShobridgeHe traveled to Syria last month to meet families. “The administration in Northeast Syria is very open to providing safe escort and assistance.” he said.
Anthony Albanese’s tough stance is astounding. Even conservatives like the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison At least there was compassion to bring some In 2019, kids are at home.
The current Prime Minister clearly fears the consequences of the attack. Bondi massacre Tensions over ill-timed visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
The Australian Government has the resources to bring these people home and manage their security concerns but fears a backlash from the Opposition and voters.
While our politicians talk tough and try to garner votes, Muslims are once again suffering collateral damage in the “race to the bottom”.
These women and children are Australian citizens. They have been languishing in miserable conditions for almost a decade. We cannot wash our hands of them, as we do with the thousands of refugees we have detained and mistreated in the pits of hell. Manus Island And from Nauru.
The Australian Government procrastinated like idiots and waited for other countries to help these people and some of the politicians who implemented this terrible policy are also presiding over this human rights violation.
According to Al Roj officials, the Workers’ Party Government made proposals to some women single entry passports and we left them alone.
It’s not good enough.
Sarah SanbarA researcher from Human Rights Watch said:
“… countries whose citizens are involved need to take action and repatriate them in a coordinated, safe and dignified manner. Women and children should not be left to navigate trafficking routes on their own and replace the front lines.”
Now the coalition demands: Temporary Expulsion Decisions Women and children (TEOs) will be slapped to prevent them from returning. This is no surprise for a Coalition that is on life support and trying to take back One Nation’s votes.
Meanwhile, Anthony Albanese claims that “Pauline Hanson appeals to the dark forces of our nature” And “He wants to appeal to light, optimism and unity.”.
His sarcastic remarks make me sick.
The hostile attitude in all segments of politics towards women and children in Syrian camps fuels Islamophobia.
Since the Bondi massacre, the Muslim community has reported an increase in cases of abuse, including repeated threats of violence against Muslims. Lakemba Mosque In Sydney.
The Australian Government should have brought these people home years ago. Allowing them to rot in these camps was reprehensible and dangerous. It exposed them to diseases, hardships and radicalization.
Professor, UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights Ben Saul He said any security risks would be managed more effectively if women and children were returned to Australia:
“This is a small group of people. It’s not beyond the capability of our law enforcement to deal with the risk. When you come back to Australia, if you’ve done something wrong, you can be prosecuted under any of Australia’s very broad range of terrorism offences.”
It is outrageous that Australian women and children are still trapped in these filthy camps after seven years. I’m amazed they had the courage and strength to survive.
The political situation in Syria is volatile and conditions in Al Roj camp are dire. They need to get out now. Other countries have repatriated many of their citizens, and we should do the same.
These families have suffered enough. Anthony Albanese would be a heartless coward if he allowed them to perish or get his own way.
