After the military victory of the Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS mercenaries in their last strongholds in Al-Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, on March 23, 2019, tens of thousands of ISIS mercenaries and their families were arrested in prisons and camps in North and East Syria, amid repeated demands, calls and appeals to countries to evacuate mercenaries and prosecute them.

The notable of al-Fadil clan, Manaf al-Raja, in an interview with our agency, said: “We suffer a lot today from the presence of ISIS and their families on our lands, whether they are in prisons or camps. This has a direct negative impact on life, and some Western countries have only received children and a number of women from their subjects, and the mercenaries are still present, and this increases the danger. "

He called on the Security Council and the international community to assume their responsibilities regarding this file, "Either each country receives its nationals and prosecutes them in the proper manner on its territory and in its courts, or to establish a court under international supervision on the lands of North and East Syria to try them."

Al-Raja stressed that the presence of ISIS and their families constitutes a great burden on the Autonomous Administration, especially in light of the economic conditions that the region is going through.

He concluded by saying: "We have provided convoys of martyrs of all components in order to defeat these killers, the enemies of religion and humanity, and we are ready to provide more."
