Turkey weighs repatriation of 2,000 IS suspects for trial at home

Turkey is negotiating with Baghdad and Washington to repatriate over 2,000 of its nationals suspected of being Islamic State members from northern Syria to be prosecuted in Turkish courts. This effort follows a US-announced transfer of IS prisoners from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to Iraqi custody. The involved parties have reportedly agreed that convicted IS prisoners should face charges of crimes against humanity and genocide. The repatriation process faces hurdles, such as verifying the citizenship of detainees who may lack documentation or have provided false information.
