UK ‘colluding in torture’ by leaving women and children in Syria camps

Rights watchdog accuses Britain of turning a blind eye to degrading treatment of those who lived under IS

Britain is colluding in torture and degrading treatment by refusing to repatriate women and children held in indefinite detention in Syrian prison camps, according to a report from a human rights watchdog.

The assessment by Rights and Security International (RSI) accuses the UK and others of turning a blind eye to lawless and squalid conditions in two camps that contain 60,000 women and children, many held since the collapse of Islamic State.
