Men suspected of being affiliated with ISIS gather in a prison cell in northeastern Syrian city of Hasakeh on October 26. An AFP team was given rare access to one of the crowded detention facilities where Kurdish forces are holding Islamic State group suspects
Daily Mail: 5,000 ISIS militants with AIDS, hepatitis and 'organs spilling out of open wounds' plead to be sent to their home countries – including Britain – as they rot in Syrian prison hellhole
* A rare look inside one of the crowded detention facilities in northeastern Syria where ISIS suspects are held
* Kurdish authorities say 50 nationalities represented in Kurdish-run prisons where over 12,000 suspects held
* The condition of the wounded speaks of intensity of fighting that led to IS's final territorial defeat in March
* Some of the detainees are teenagers, and none of them have been under the sun even once in months or more
* One cell is reserved for children who were enlisted and trained as IS fighters, dubbed 'cubs of the Caliphate'
Behind the steel door, the cell is as packed as their eyes are empty - haggard, scrawny prisoners in orange jumpsuits lying head-to-toe cover every inch of floor space.
An AFP team was given rare access to one of the crowded detention facilities in northeastern Syria where Kurdish forces are holding Islamic State group (IS) suspects.

WNU Editor: I do not what is more disturbing. The many graphic pictures of these prisoners in this Daily Mail post, or that I have zero sympathy for these men.
Let them rot away just as they would do to anyone of us or worse. They will only cause problems in any other scenario.
ReplyDeleteWe need to understand WHY all of them joined..
ReplyDeleteask each and every one, make sure you understand their motives.
Look at the faces in those photos. They could be your neighbours, your friends. Sure, sure, ISIS fighters... but unless they have killed, or otherwise hurt in the name of ISIS, there is no reason to kill them. We didn't kill Nazis if they only by name were Nazis (some of the smarter Nazis even ran the US NASA program for decades).. so lets not kill who we don't have to kill.
All justice is done by a) understanding b) judging with perspective c) executing the verdict with compassion - yes, including death penalty if the people decide that's right
This is what makes us different from them. If we just kill them, without talking to them, without understanding, without remorse, without consideration, then we are just like ISIS
