Feb. 17 (UPI) -- A group of Australian women and children who moved to Syria in support of the Islamic State and are now stuck in refugee camps is trying to return, and the Australian government has said no.
There are 34 women and children in the Al-Roj detention camp that houses ISIS militants and their families with the goal of returning to Australia via Damascus. But Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Australian broadcaster ABC that the government won't allow them back.
"If you make your bed, you lie in it," Albanese said.
Albanese was asked if the people had Australian passports, but he said he couldn't confirm anything about them.
