Blumont, a Virginia-based humanitarian aid group responsible for the management of two of Syria’s IS detention camps, al-Hol and al-Roj, was given a stop-work order on 24 January by the US state department.

The camp holds the relatives of suspected IS fighters and is mostly populated by women and children. Rights groups have for years warned that detainees are held arbitrarily without charges in inhumane and substandard living conditions.

No charges have been raised against the camp’s population. Despite this, they are unable to leave, with the exception of non-Syrian detainees whose countries agree to take them back.

when all the Nazi libs in other instances lie about hexbear being evil, this is what they are talking about.

Next time someone asks about hexbear, this absolute clown is going to chime in and say "one time they were defending ISIS! I saw it myself!"

And no one they say that to will go check the post and see that it was indeed the Nazi lib justifying putting women and children in prison for being in proximity to ISIS members. They will believe the Nazi lib and never go to see that hexbear is against imprisoning children and women and it is indeed the Nazi libs from other instances who believe concentration camps are good, actually.
